STEP SIX: Cover the cookie dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

PRO TIP:

It is very important to let the dough chill before baking. This will allow the dough to firm up.

STEP SEVEN: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

STEP EIGHT: Use a 1½-tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop out the cookie dough. Space the cookie dough balls 2 inches apart. Gently press the dough slightly.

Bake cookies for 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 2 to 3 minutes before transferring the cookies to a wire rack to finish cooling.

PRO TIP:

Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to check your cookies at the lower end of the recommended baking time.
