For a shorter cooling time, line cookie sheets with wax paper and place formed cookies in fridge. Also, this recipe will probably need to be adjusted as you practice making cookies. We attempted this treat over ten times before an edible version was produced..(thus the nickname "pooh-pooh cookies)..
