Bake: Roll 2 inch balls of dough and add to baking tray. Bake for 11-12 minutes.
Serve and Enjoy! Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for at least 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Storage

Make Ahead
As with most cookies, this is a great recipe to make ahead! You can either make the dough ahead of time and store in dough balls in the fridge for up to 3 days or store the cookie dough in the freezer for up to 3 months. Bake straight from the fridge or the freezer, no need to defrost. If baking from the freezer, add an extra minute to the baking time.
