Makes 30 cookies

It’s very important that you not exceed the cooking time given above, even if the cookies appear to be under baked. When the cookies are removed from the oven, the sugar in them will stay hot and continue the cooking process. The finished product should be soft in the middle and crunchy around the edges.

Substituting ingredients (i.e. margarine for butter, or using artificial vanilla extract) will produce an inferior cookie.
