[GOLDEN KAREN]

I posted this recipe a week or so ago (it's on like page 2-3). Anyway, I made them again today & made a double batch. I took pieces of the dough & made several round disks (I probably had 5 or 6) & stored them in a lock n lock container in the fridge. I mentioned I had stamina problems so I've been at it all day. Anyway I took an old weight watchers scale & the smallest weight on it is 1 ounce so I brought the scale, a plate with 1 of the dough disks & sat down in my chair to work. I just pulled a small amount off & weighed so each ball was half an ounce. I rolled them & then baked what fit on the cookie sheet & put the rest in a lock n lock bowl with a lid in the fridge. I kept getting another disk as I finished one & just kept rolling & put the balls back in the fridge to keep them cold. When the sheets were cool, I got the balls & flattened them with a glass as indicated in the original recipe. If you've got a good eye you probably wouldn't need to weigh them but since I could do it sitting down that's what I did. I'm going to make up some gift bags with all the cookies I've been baking for some of my friends & neighbors & I thought I'd include some of these savory appetizers with the sweet cookies. I thought some of these hints might help some of you who wanted to make these. I love them & I hope you do too!
