BAKE & TIPS

Bake at 350° for 9-11 minutes until cookies are risen and just soft in the middle. These don’t turn incredibly brown and will be a bit dry if over baked.
Let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring… to your mouth. Or an airtight container.
Same same.

This dough can be frozen (on the sheet first) after being scooped. Once the dough balls are mostly frozen, then transfer cookie dough balls into another freezer storage container. You can also freeze cookies after being baked.
