• Bake for 4-5 minutes in the middle of the oven, until the cookies have browned slightly at the edges. Remove with a metal spatula and cool on a rack. If the cookies harden before you take them off the sheet, return them to the oven to warm them.
• When the cookies have cooled, store them in an airtight container.
