- Using a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets (about 5 dozen cookies). For big bakery-style cookies, use a larger scoop.
- Bake the cowboy cookies for 10 to 12 minutes per batch or until they are lightly browned.

If you bake two sheets at once, swap the pans’ positions halfway through (top to bottom and front to back) so the cookies brown evenly.
