  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

  5. Step 5: Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared sheet pan, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are set and lightly golden but centers remain soft.
  7. Step 7: Remove from oven and cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
