Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (325°F if using a nonstick baking sheet). Lightly grease the baking sheet with cooking spray or butter.
- Place the cookie dough pieces 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet to allow for spreading.
- Bake until the edges are set and lightly golden, about 14 to 18 minutes. If baking from frozen, add 3 minutes to the bake time.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a plate or wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Recipe Tips
For extra gooey centers, bake on the lower end of the time range.
If you prefer crisper cookies, bake a minute or two longer.
Let cookies cool on the sheet for exactly 3 minutes to set without sticking.
