  9. Drop dough by medium scoops (1.5 tablespoons) onto prepared cookie sheets.

Notes

  • It's key to properly measure the flour. The most accurate way to measure the flour is to weigh it (click on "metric" immediately underneath the ingredients to get the weights). If you aren't weighing the flour, sift or stir it to break it up. Lightly spoon the flour into a measuring cup and level. Avoid packing the flour because it will give you dry, crumbly dough.
  • Please don't skip the chilling time. Otherwise, the cookies will bake out and be flat without it.
  • Using a cookie scoop will make it easier to portion the dough and will give you uniform cookies.
  • Slightly underbaking the cookies will help to keep the cookies soft and chewy.
  • Nutrition values are estimates.
