Baking Cookies

Line a sheet tray with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350°F
Scoop 4 oz cookie dough balls then flatten the tops while keeping the round shape. Place dough on sheet tray then chill for 15 minutes
Arrange cookies 3 inches apart on sheet tray and bake for 18 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on the tray for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack

Notes

Pack the brown sugar when measuring. This rule always applies to brown sugar.

Chilling the cookie for 15-30 minutes is very important so that your cookie doesn't spread too much.

Cookies can be enjoyed slightly warm or completely cool. I suggest trying each way because the cookie will taste very different depending on the temperature.
