Scoop

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set 1 aside. Use a 2-tablespoon-sized cookie scoop to scoop cookies onto the baking sheet. Try to fit all of the cookie dough balls in a single layer on the baking sheet. If the cookies aren’t holding their round shape, use your hands to press the dough balls together to form round cookies. Do not flatten cookies.

Chill

Once all of the dough has been scooped, place the baking sheet of cookie dough balls in the freezer for 10 minutes. This prevents the cookies from spreading too much while they bake.

Once the dough has chilled, place some of the chilled cookie dough balls 2 inches apart onto the second prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookie edges are just set and bottoms are slightly browned.

Let cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before storing. Repeat until all cookies are baked. Serve and enjoy!
