 Baking the cookies

***Preheat Oven to 325 Degrees***

Step 8- Lightly butter the bottom of your baking pan.  Line the bottom of your pan with parchment paper.

Step 9- Using a small or large ice cream scoop, place cookie dough into the palm of your hand and roll dough into a ball. Place cookie dough ball on to baking pan. Make sure you have enough space between each cookie so they can spread and bake without coming in contact with each other.

Step 10- Gently press down on each cookie either with the back of the ice cream scoop or you can use the palm of your hands but if you are using your hands make sure you WASH them before you touch. This will ensure that your cookies spread and bake evenly while baking.

Step 11- Place Cookies into a Preheated 325-degree oven and bake for 15 minutes. Also, if you’re cookies appear to be undone place back in oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 12- Cookies are done. Take pan out of oven. Set aside and let cool for 40 minutes and after 40 minutes your cookies are ready to eat. Enjoy!

Storage- Store your chocolate chip cookies by placing them into either an Airtight container or zip lock bag. The cookies can stay fresh up to a week.
