    1       c            Sugar
    2       lg           Eggs

   cookie sheet. Using a 1/2 Tablespoon measure, spoon
   out level 1/2 tablespoon of chilled cookie dough onto
   the cookie sheet, placing them 3" apart. Bake for
   about 10 minutes or until the cookies have just
   flattened and are lightly browned around the edges.
   Cool the cookies on racks. Store in a covered tin.
