Scoop out about 2 tablespoonfuls of dough using a cookie scoop and place them onto the prepared baking sheets. Press them down slightly so they will be thick. Cover and chill for about 30 minutes.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. The cookies will come out soft from the oven but will harden up as they cool. Make sure not to overbake them as they will dry out!
