  • Place 3 tablespoons sized scoops on parchment lined baking sheets and bake cookies at 350° for 18 minutes. If you have a really hot oven bake at 325°.
  • Cookies should be golden on the bottom and baked and set in the centers. They will bake a couple minutes longer when you take them out of the oven, so don't over bake them.
  • Allow cookies to cool completely before applying frosting or chocolate. You could roll the dough in sugar for a sugar crust on the cookies.
