  8. Scoop 3-tablespoon portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 3 inches apart.
  9. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8–9 minutes until edges are lightly browned and centers appear slightly underbaked.

  11. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. Freeze for up to 3 months., Dough can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking., Dough balls can be frozen for up to 3 months; bake from frozen adding a couple minutes to bake time., Avoid overmixing dough to keep cookies soft and chewy., Check baking time closely around 8 minutes; pull cookies when centers look slightly underdone for chewy centers., Press whole Mini Eggs or chocolate chunks on top before baking for a festive look, or sprinkle crushed pieces after baking for more color.
