Notes
Don't over bake cookies. Edges should be firm and golden brown. The middles may be a little soft, but they will harden as the cookies cool.
Swirl a large drinking glass or cookie cutter around the freshly baked cookies to make them perfectly round.
To keep cookies soft, store in airtight container with a piece of sandwich bread.
