  • Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (I use an ice cream/cookie scoop of around 2in/6cm). Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24-36 hours.

  • Preheat the oven to 400℉/200℃ and line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared sheets, spacing them apart as the dough will spread slightly.
  • Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes until they are a deep golden brown with the centers still soft - they will firm up as they cool.
    Optional: Sprinkle with flaky sea salt as they come out of the oven.

Notes

  • You could make the batter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment if you prefer.
  • I give the weight measurement first as baking with weights is the best way to get accurate results. I would recommend an affordable kitchen scale to any person interested in baking.
