Baking the Cookies

Use a cookie scoop to form 1-inch (2.54 cm) balls and place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, about two inches apart from each other.
Leave them on the cookie sheet for a few minutes. This is to allow the cookies to actually "set" while still piping hot.
Set aside for about 15 to 20 minutes.

Can I use chocolate chips?

Community Answer

Absolutely! As long as the cookie dough can hold them without falling apart, that's perfectly fine.
