Scoop and Shape Cookies

Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Roll the dough into balls if desired.

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
