Notes
Baking Notes
For convection ovens, decrease the temperature by 25 degrees. Convection ovens will provide a more even browning of these sandies. However, they will not spread as much when compared to a conventional oven.
The thicker the sandies, the longer the baking time required. Conversely, the "flatter" the disks, the shorter the time. Store unused cookies in a sealed container.
