7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
8. Gently flatten each cookie with a fork.
9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
