Recipe Notes

-Sprinkling a little flour on the dough makes it easier to spread or roll out. If you are using a spreader spray it will a bit of cooking spray before spreading the dough. -Do not overtake the dough, check after 20 minutes with a toothpick, if a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, the cookies are done.
