Bake for ⏱️ 8-11 minutes, until the edges are set and the very center is still slightly underdone (do not overbake). If necessary, rotate the baking sheets from front to back and top to bottom once during bake time (if your oven bakes unevenly). Place the baking pans on wire racks to cool completely before proceeding with remaining dough. Unbaked dough can be stored in the fridge in between batches.
