Notes
NOTE: I was baking 3 to 4 racks of cookies at a time. My cookies took about 15-16 minutes to bake. I rotated the pans half way through the cooking time.
NOTE: If you’re only baking one batch of cookies at a time, these cookies may be done in 12 minutes. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
NOTE: These cookie are fragile. Handle delicately.
