- Step 4 – Scoop the Cookie Dough – Lastly, put the cookie dough on the baking sheet by the spoonful. I like to use a cookie scoop to do this but it’s not necessary.
- Step 5 – Scoop the same size – However, it sure makes it easy and you can scoop a ton of cookies quickly. It also helps to ensure the cookies are all the same size which helps them bake evenly.
- Step 6 – Bake Cookies – Bake until they get just slightly brown around the edges. Let them cool for several minutes on the baking sheet before you move them.
This is really important as moving too soon can cause the cookies to break. You don’t want to rush this step and have the cookies fall apart.
- Step 7 – Cool Cookies – Move the cookies to a wire rack so they can cool completely. This recipe is really that simple.
