  • Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C) and line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
  • Roll the dough into 8 (75-gram) balls. Place 4" apart on the prepared baking sheet. Press the cookies down lightly with the palm of your hand.
  • Bake for 11-14 minutes or until the surface of the center of the cookies no longer appears wet. They'll be very soft but will continue to cook as they sit on the cookie sheet.
  • Let cool completely on the baking sheet. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
