- If you want large cookies, drop about 1/4 cup lumps of the dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, separated by 3 inches to allow for enough room for the cookies to spread as they cook.,For smaller cookies, use about 2 tablespoons of the cookie dough per cookie.,Simply Recipes / Sally Vargas
- Bake at 350°F for 14 to 18 minutes for large cookies, or 13 to 16 minutes for small cookies. Rotate the pan halfway through baking, front to bake and top to bottom.,If you are using a dark baking sheet, it will absorb more heat, and you won't need as much baking time. Also, the top rack will bake more quickly because heat rises.
- Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then remove the cookies to a rack to cool completely.,You'll likely need to work in batches, depending on the size of your oven and your baking sheets.,Did you love the recipe?
