Notes

Double the recipe to make 1 dozen cookies!
To make the cookies perfectly round, use a cookie cutter that is larger than the cookie and place it over the cookie a soon as it comes out of the oven. In a circular fast motion scoot the cookie cutter around the cookie to make it perfectly round. 
This has to be done when warm or it wont work!
