Deep Fry Cookies - Maurine G.

These cookies are quite tasty.  They are a cross between, Ebelskivers (spelled wrong but it won't give me the correct spelling) and Cake Donuts.  They were really quick to make and not much mess because I had everything I needed already.  The flavor is very pleasant.  I thought they would seem more greasy than they do.  I only made half of a recipe and got 14 cookies.  The main problem I had was the tempreture of the oil.  I started when I thought it was hot enough and it really wasn't.  The first two took a minute to start cooking.  The middle ones cooked very well and the grease got too hot by the last ones so the middle was not done.  If I make them again I would cook them a little lower temperature than donuts.  Maybe 325o and make sure the grease is really ready before I start frying.
