- These cookies are best if refrigerated 1-2 days, but you can go ahead and bake some if you're anxious! Just be aware you'll get the best appearance and texture if you refrigerate the dough first.
- When you're ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Scoop cookies by tablespoons onto a cookie sheet. Use a cookie scoop or roll slightly so it forms a ball.
- On a cookie sheet lined with silpat or parchment paper, place cookie dough 2 inches apart and bake 7-8 minutes until edges begin to brown. The cookies will cook a little more as they cool.
- Cool for 1-2 minutes on the cookie sheet and remove to a cooling rack.
- You can refrigerate the dough for up to a week, When you're ready to bake the cookies, remove dough from the fridge when you turn the oven on, scoop, and bake.
Notes
If your cookie dough seems to thick (it's crumbly or appears thicker than regular cookie dough), add an additional teaspoon of maple syrup or milk until it softens. Next time you make the cookies, be sure you're stirring the flour, scooping into measuring cup, and leveling with a knife so you aren't putting too much flour into the recipe.
