Preparation

  6. Form large balls (about 1/4 cup each) and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each one.

Notes

Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to help the cookies keep their shape. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze the dough for longer storage.
