  • Cover cookie dough with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 2 hours.

  • Roll cookie dough into balls of about 1.5 tablespoons each, and place 3 inches apart on baking sheets.
  • Bake for 11-12 minutes or until slightly browned on the edges. The centers should look soft.
  • Remove from the oven and let cookies cool for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack and let them cool completely.
