Now if you want, scoop out the dough and roll it into small balls, about 1 tablespoon each. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart. Bake in the 350°F (175°C) preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, serve and enjoy your freshly baked cookies!
Note
- Ensure that the butter is softened but not melted for the best texture in the cookie dough recipe.
- Don't skip chilling the dough, as it helps the flavors meld together and prevents the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
- Experiment with different flavorings like almond extract or citrus zest for a unique twist on the classic cookie dough.
- If you're in a hurry, you can chill the dough in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes instead of the refrigerator for a quicker firming process.
