Cookies
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. This delicious and crispy treat goes by various names, but most commonly it's simply called "Ears." When my daughter was little, and she was told these were "Ear" cookies, she nicknamed them "Elephant Ears" because of their size :) Since then, in our family, these cookies have been known by that name. Want to bake some and treat your loved ones? Let me tell you how.

Step 11
And bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees. I baked mine with convection for about 10-12 minutes. Don't stray too far from the stove—cookies bake quickly! I looked away for a moment, and the cookies on the edges got slightly burnt :(
