Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (325°F if using a nonstick cookie sheet).
- Place the frozen cookie dough pieces on an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The cookies will look pale on the surface and edges – do not overbake. They will continue to set as they cool.
- Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 1 minute, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Recipe Tips
For best results, do not overbake – the cookies should be just set and pale in color.
If you prefer crispier cookies, bake for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching closely.
Let the cookies cool completely before decorating with icing or sprinkles.
