    Shape dough into 16 balls (1-1/2" diameter). Place on a large cookie sheet 2" apart. Flatten cookies to 1/4" thickness using the back of a spoon. Dip the spoon in water to prevent it from sticking to cookies. Bake for 13-14 minutes, until tops of cookies are dry to touch and bottoms are golden brown. Do not overbake! Remove from tray immediately and let cool.
