I usually bake 10 minutes but timing will depend on individual ovens 10 minutes yields a chewy, yet not undercooked cookie.Having the dough already prepared can help if you want to plan ahead to bake them for a party/event. You can refrigerate the dough 1/2 hour to 24 hours to make it easier to handle and hold it shape better resulting in more rounded cookies, if you do this, make sure to add 1-2 minutes to the baking time since the dough will be cold.A rounded tablespoon measure works just fine though! This method can cut down on mess, allowing you to keep your fingers from having to handle the dough. You can use a cookie dough scoop to make perfect scoops of dough.Be sure to check on the cookies when they are close to being done – burnt cookies are no fun! If you make the cookies larger, it will add baking time. When scooping the dough, you might have extra after putting 12 scoops on 2 sheets, just bake the cookies and do another set with the remaining dough.I have found in the many times making this recipe, that it is best not to overwork the dough mix the ingredients until combined but, no more, or you will end up with flat cookies!.Try adding 1 -2 tablespoons of freshly ground flaxseed or stabilized flaxseed with the dry ingredients.Try adding 1/2-1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, however, this makes it a completely different cookie.Try adding 1/2 – 1 cup of chopped nuts, walnuts compliment the flavors in this recipe.Recipe Notes, Alternatives, and Thoughts:
