Directions

  6. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Flatten each dough ball with the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to create a cookie shape.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
