Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place portions of cookie dough about 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake until the edges are golden brown, 14 to 18 minutes. If using frozen dough, add 2-3 minutes to the baking time.
- Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a cooling rack or plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Recipe Tips
For extra chewiness, slightly underbake the cookies by 1-2 minutes.
If you prefer a crisper cookie, bake for the full 18 minutes.
Allow cookies to cool completely on the rack before storing in an airtight container.
FAQ
Can I bake these cookies from frozen?
Yes! Simply add 2-3 minutes to the recommended bake time. No need to thaw the dough first.
How should I store leftover cookies?
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze the baked cookies for up to 3 months.
