This amount of batter makes approx 32 individual biscuits.

MELTING MOMENTS

• 3. Roll the dough into small ball (slightly smaller than a walnut). Space evenly onto a cookie tray, I can get all four dozen onto one tray for the oven.
• 4. Bake at 350 deg for 10-15 min. If you refrigerate the balls on the cookie tray for another 10 min before you bake them, the cookies will be rounder and stand up more, otherwise they will slump considerably.
• 5. Let cookies cool completely and frost with cream cheese frosting.
