Use a cup to scoop the cookie dough. About 1/4 cup at a time onto the cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Make sure to distance the cookies 3 inches apart from each other.

Now, we are almost done! In the preheated oven, bake the dough for 15 to 17 minutes or until the edges are lightly toasted to perfection.

After 15 to 17 minutes, let the cookies cool down on baking sheets for a few minutes before completely transferring them to wire racks to cool.
