I'd like to make these, is it 400 or 350 (see my comment above-not sure if 50 degrees matters but don't want to mess it up :))

Karrie K. 10 months ago

Oh sorry lol-^Comment up there says 350 degrees

Karrie K. 10 months ago

Yes, and? You preheat it at 400 and bake it at 400.

Farah Vazeer (author) 10 months ago
