Famous Quotes

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

Recipe Step 4

Recipe Step 4 Spoon out dollops onto the baking tray. A heaped tablespoon is a good measurement and should yield the amount of cookies I mentioned earlier – 12-16. Leave a good 2 inch pace between each round of batter. If you want to alter the size of the cookies to large or smaller, remember you’ll have to adjust cooking time too so it’s best to do the recipe a few times to get used to it and how it bakes before making adjustments. Put the trays in the oven and bake for 6-8 minutes. They should be golden brown and almost firm to the touch.

Recipe Step 5

Recipe Step 5 When ready, lift the cookies off the tray onto a wire rack and allow to cool. When you can resist that crumbly golden goodness no longer, enjoy!
