Preparation

  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.

Baking
  1. Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  3. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week. For extra chewy cookies, under-bake them slightly.
