First, preheat your oven to the temperature specified in your recipe. Next, prepare the dough according to your recipe and shape it into cookies. Depending on your recipe, you may need to chill the dough before baking. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, leaving enough space between them for them to spread. Bake the cookies for the amount of time specified in your recipe, checking them periodically towards the end of the baking time. When they are light golden brown, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
