Notes
- Use parchment paper to line the baking dish/sheet to prevent sticking and allow for easier cleanup.
- Use pure vanilla extract and not imitation. It really makes a difference. If you do not have pure vanilla extract, then you may omit completely.
- When pressing them into the pan, to prevent sticking, dampen your hands a bit with water.
