Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and flour mixture until blended. Drop by teaspoonful onto foil on cookie sheets, spreading to about 2-inch round cookie. Space about 1-inch apart. Bake cookies 8 minutes or until tops are bubbly. Cool cookies completely on wire racks. When cooled completely, peel foil from cookies. Store in tightly covered container. Makes about 4 dozen. Bonnie writes that her grandmother made these cookies, but it was difficult for Bonnie to determine measurements because her grandmother just added ingredients "until it looked like a good cookie." They are great lasting, she writes, and look great on a coo kie tray because the texture is different from other cookies.
