- Shape the Cookies:Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

- Cool:Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

- Check for Doneness: Cookies should be golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center. They’ll firm up as they cool.
