Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are just set. The centers may look slightly undercooked. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
-
Serve immediately or store in a sealed container for up to 1 week. Cookies can also be frozen for up to 3-4 months.
