Notes
- No Crinkles - Check the expiration date on the Baking Powder. If it is expired, the cookies don't rise, will be flat, and may not have crinkles. See FAQs below for more information.

- How do I know when they are done? The cookies may not look fully done by 10 minutes, but they will be done. These cookies will ‘crack’ but still look slightly undercooked when they are done baking. Storage - Store these cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Freezing - Place the cookies in a single layer in a freezer-safe, airtight container with parchment paper in between each layer.
