Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Scoop the cookie dough onto the baking mats about 2-3" apart. I use a cookie scoop that is about 2 to 3 Tablespoons of dough.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are starting to turn golden and the tops are set.
Remove the baking tray from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the pan for a few minutes.
Remove the cookies to a wire rack to finish cooling all the way.

Notes
Store these cookies in an air tight container.You can bake these without placing them in the refrigerator, but they will be a lot more puffy and cake like in texture.
