- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Arrange cookie dough balls on a baking sheet with 3 inches between each.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges are golden and the center appears slightly underbaked.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Notes
Chilling the dough enhances the flavors and leads to a chewier texture.
For softer cookies, slightly underbake them during the final baking step.
