Masa Cookies

We made a batch of cookies . . .

 And very carefully copied the recipe down . . .

 The kids were thrilled to make "shape cookies" as they call them . . .

 Golden so fast it wasn't hard to wait . . .

 So here is the recipe . . .

Masa Cookies

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

In a large bowl mix:

3 cups masa flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon guar gum

1/2 teaspoon salt
