Remove from oven and let cool on cookie sheet for about 5 minutes.

Transfer onto wire racks to finish cooling.

Use sprinkles, half an almond or half a cashew or chocolate to the top of the cookies before baking.

A thumbprint in the cookie, filled with your choice of jam is very tasty.

It has been suggested that the cookies be refrigerated for at least 1/2 hour before baking for a different texture
