Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  6. Step 6: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops slightly crack.
  8. Step 8: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
