They need to be simply set once they come out of the oven, as they’ll proceed to settle whereas they relaxation on the baking sheet. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
• Not all ovens bake the identical. You’ll discover that I give a variety for the baking time (9-12 minutes), and it’s because some ovens run hotter or cooler than others, or bake in another way.
