  I use my Kitchen Aid to do all the mixing. It has a large enough bowl and the power to do it all. If you do not have a large mixer you will need to mix the last 5 ingredients by hand.

  Using two lightly greased cookie sheet pans, place 6 ice cream scoops of dough onto each sheet pan. They need lots of room to expand. Place cookie sheets on two racks in top 2/3 of the oven and rotate halfway through baking. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 F. for 15 to 18 minutes. Watch carefully as oven temperatures varies. When they are done, they should be turning slightly brown around edges and just turning a very light brown on top.

  For gift giving ideas: Stack six of these and wrap them with plastic wrap, tie them with a pretty ribbon and bow or raffia and include a recipe card. Wrap each one in plastic wrap and place in a basket with a pretty bow and tie a recipe card to the basket handle. Wrap in plastic, tie with a ribbon, and add one as a stocking stuffer.
