   Drops that become

   Drop by teaspoon (or larger) this is what will make the size of your pies. Do keep in mind these will expand so you may at first need to experiment in order to get the right size you are looking for. I personally use a cookie dough scoop.

4. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Bake for 10 Minutes (longer if you are making bigger cookies)

5. With the remaining ingredients, you will need to make some filling.
   In a separate bowl mix together 3/4 Cups of Shortening, 2 Cups of Confectionery Sugar, 2 Egg Whites, and 1 Tablespoon of Vanilla and pinch of salt. Beat until fluffy.

Tips & Warnings

• These can yield approximately 25 pies (this depends on how big you make these, therefore this number is not set in stone)
• Extra Cinnamon will make your cookies darker.
• Add filling when the cookies are cool.
• Refrigerate any pies not being eaten. Most pies can last 1 week, if left out for too long they can go bad quicker and taste worse. Plus the chips can melt.
• Mix with a mixer, the dough is fixed.
• Be careful if you elect to double batch, and be careful not to mix for long periods of time. As the dough gets thick, some mixers loose speed and can result in a burnt out mixer.
