- Scoop dough with a 1/4 cup measure onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 3 inches apart.

- Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use a hand mixer if a stand mixer is unavailable.
- Cookies do not spread; flatten before baking.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
