**READER TIP** Jenn had really good luck using a small cookie scoop to measure out and drop in the dough! Thanks Jenn!
CAUTION- Working with any kind of hot oil can be dangerous. Make sure you take proper precautions when making these. The oil does not need to be on a high heat at all. Just enough to make it warm and keep it warm.
