ADVICE

Don’t Over Cook! Once the cookies cool, they will harden. 10 minutes at 375°F is usually perfect. Let them cool for 3-4 minutes before using a flipper to take them off of your cookie sheet.

Step 4. Using a small cookie scoop or a regular spoon, scoop out a small round ball and roll it in your hand. You can choose to dip just the top half in the decorative sugar or to roll the whole cookie.

Step 5. Place on your cookie sheet and bake from 9-11 minutes. I find the sweet spot to be ten minutes but everyone’s ovens are different. *Darker cookie sheets also tend to cook a little bit faster.

Enjoy!

Once the cookies have baked, leave them cool on the sheet for about five minutes to firm up. Transfer to a cooling rack.
