Turn your spoon sideways and tap it gently on the paper.

This should create an oval shape «blob». Continue dropping the cookie mixture on the paper.

Let the cookies cool down. They will harden and be easy to take off the paper. Each batch should make approximately 2 dozen cookies, depending on the size of your spoon. Smaller spoons will make more cookies.
