- Drop the cookie dough by tablespoon onto the prepared baking sheets and bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until set.
- Cool on the baking sheets for 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
Shortening and butter bake differently. Butter gives the cookies more flavor and a little more spread, while shortening makes them a bit thicker and softer.
Do not overbake. Pull the cookies when they look set and lightly golden around the edges. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
