    Drop by Tablespoonful on cookie sheet (2 or 3 per sheet)
    Bake 7 – 9 minutes or until light caramel color, still bubbling in the middle
    Let cool 1 minute – timing is tricky – wait too long and they stick to the sheet, too little and they will not lift
    Transfer to paper towel top side down
    Roll over handle of wooden spoon to form tube shape
    May need to regrease/flower cookie sheets between cookies
    Only work with one sheet at a time by staggering baking times
