-
Shape the cookies: Roll the dough into golf ball-sized portions and place them onto ungreased cookie sheets, leaving space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking.
-
Flatten the cookies: Using a fork or the bottom of a glass, gently flatten each cookie to your desired thickness. This will also create a classic crisscross pattern on the surface.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Be careful not to overbake, as you want the cookies to remain soft and chewy.
-
Enjoy: Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy these delightful Cookies by George with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage.
