Notes

1. This is a soft dough, if making up next cookie sheet while first one is baking place second cookie sheet with rolled cookies into refrigerator until ready for the oven.
2. If you find the dough is too soft you can refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm up.
3. If you need to store the glaze lay plastic wrap directly on the surface so it does not crust over.
4. Store cookies in airtight container
5. Watch cookies closely while baking, as soon as the edges are a light golden brown remove from oven. Press top of cookie lightly, if firm they are done. If top is soft then put in oven for 1 minute intervals until done.
