Preparation

Baking
  1. Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving enough space between each.

  3. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, freeze in a single layer on a tray, then move to a freezer bag for up to 1 month. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
