Notes: Tips:
- Let the oven preheat thoroughly.
- These cook most evenly when cooking one sheet at a time in oven. Fill one sheet and start that baking while you work on the next sheet, just be sure you are placing the balls on a cooled baking sheet and not one straight from the oven
- The dough does not need to be chilled, but is easier to work with when shaping into balls
- The recipe can be halved
- The cookies will be a light golden color and will feel a bit soft when straight from the oven. This is okay, they will firm up a bit as they cool. If you like a softer cookie go for 8 minutes, for a crisper cookie go for 10 minutes. These cookies will go from just right to overcooked very quickly; timing is everything.
