Notes

Measure your ingredients carefully. A little too much or not enough of something can make a big difference in small batch recipes.
If you prefer, you can make your one giant cookie into four smaller cookies. Baking time may vary.
Press the dough down into a 4-5 inch disc before baking.
Be sure and flatten the cookie first and then sprinkle with powdered sugar or you will press the sugar into the cookie dough and it won't crinkle as much.
