  1. I just dropped the cookie by spoonfuls onto the cookie sheet. Next time I will use my cookie press. They were not a real sweet cookie, but that is great for me. These would be great to serve with tea or coffee. I will be making these again.
     
  2. Very bland. Maybe using salted sweetened butter would be better. I will also increase the sugar next time.
