Let cookies cool on the pan for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes
- For extra fudgy cookies, slightly underbake them and allow them to cool on the baking sheet.
- You can add chocolate chips to the dough for extra chocolatey goodness.
