Form Cookies: Drop the cookie dough by teaspoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Flatten Cookies: Dip a fork into water and use it to press down gently on each cookie, creating a criss-cross pattern, or you can use the bottom of a glass to flatten them slightly.
