Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease baking sheet. Have clean white cotton
gloves ready to use when folding and shaping the hot cookies. If

batter onto a baking sheet. Spread the batter with back of spoon to
make a 3-inch circle.

muffin pan; bend ends down. Place folded cookie carefully in a
muffin cup to cool. Repeat process. Makes 36 cookies.
