Cooking instructions

1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. (about 5 min) — 350°F

5. Bake one sheet at a time until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly soft, 10 to 12 minutes. (about 12 min) — 350°F
6. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough. (about 10 min)
