Notes
NOTE: You need to spray your cookie sheets really well or use Bakers Joy cooking spray to well coat the cookie sheets. Otherwise the cookies may chip when trying to remove them from the pan.
NOTE: Make sure you coat the cookies with powdered sugar really well before baking. Otherwise, too much of it will evaporate into the cookie while baking.
