8. Chill the balls in the freezer for about 5 – 10 minutes. This step is optional, but it is recommended.
9. Spread the balls 2-inches apart on your baking sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges just start to gently color. The tops will look underbaked.
10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before you transfer to a wire rack.
