Getting the batter on the cookie sheet: 1st it is a good idea to put down a layer of good parchment paper. This will make this cookie making experience much more pleasant.

Option 1: You can pipe it on by putting the batter into a disposable storage bag, snipping off a corner, and piping small circles about an inch or more apart.

Option 2: Spoon batter onto parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Make small circles about an inch or so apart.

Bake at 350 Degrees for 6 to 8 minutes. Allow to cook for 2 minutes and transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling. Then enjoy!
