Tips from the

Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Keep an eye on the smallest ears that were cut from the ends, and remove them from the cookie sheet before the larger ears if necessary to prevent burning.
  • tip 2
    Store in an airtight container between sheets of waxed paper, and serve within 2 days.
