- Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets leaving enough space between each ball.
Baking
- Place the cookie sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain soft.
- Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks.
Serving
- Serve warm with a glass of cold milk or enjoy cold as a delightful snack.
Notes
Store in an airtight container to keep them chewy. For twist, swap raisins for chocolate chips or nuts.
