Baking
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set but centers are still soft.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For storing, keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week; for longer storage, freeze the cookies. Do not overmix to keep the texture fudgy.
