4. Add the extract and beat for 2 more minutes. 5. Warm the frying pan over a low heat (or turn the electric grill on to low). 6. Drop the cookie batter by tablespoons into the frying pan or onto the electric grill. Make sure that you leave space between cookies; you don't want them running into each other in the pan. You will have to make several batches. 7. Toast the cookies about ½ minute on each side. Turn them over with the spatula. Keep cooking and turning them until they are light brown. This should only take a few minutes. 8.

9. Put the cookies on a rack to cool. 10. Make another batch. Notes: FOLDING: This is a case of a picture being worth a thousand words, but the general idea is: 1.
