Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place cookie dough rounds on an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake until golden-brown, approximately 13 to 17 minutes.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 2 minutes.
- Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Recipe Tips
For evenly baked cookies, rotate the baking sheet halfway through the baking time.
Let cookies cool on the sheet for 2 minutes before moving to a rack to prevent breaking.
If you prefer softer cookies, bake on the lower end of the time range; for crispier cookies, bake a minute or two longer.
FAQ
Can I freeze the cookie dough for later?
Yes, you can freeze the dough. Simply portion it into rounds, place on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to the baking time.
How should I store baked cookies?
Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a sealed container for up to 3 months.
Can I add extra mix-ins like nuts or dried fruit?
Absolutely! Gently fold in up to 1/2 cup of your favorite mix-ins before baking. Chopped nuts, dried cranberries or even white chocolate chips work well.
