  • 6. Bake at 350° for 12-14 minutes or until firm.

Tips:

  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use a cookie scoop to measure out the dough: This will help to ensure that all of the cookies are the same size and shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting to set properly.
