- Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before removing.
Notes
Using a good quality cookie mix means you can spend your time on the parts that make these feel special. The dough warms up as you work with it—if it gets too soft to handle, stick it in the fridge for 10 minutes. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks or freeze for 5-6 months.
