Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. (12-15 minutes)
12 Step
Recipe View
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. (10 minutes)
For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of softened butter.
If freezing the dough, wrap the logs tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn.
For a softer cookie, bake for 12 minutes. For a crispier cookie, bake for 15 minutes.
Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
