Scoop and bake

Scoop the dough into 2 tablespoon portions and place a couple inches apart on prepared cookie sheets**. Make sure the dough balls are mounded fairly high (not flattened). If desired, press a couple chocolate chips onto the tops of each dough ball. Bake for ⏱️ 8-11 minutes, until the edges are just beginning to set and the center is still underdone. They will look under baked and too soft to pick up, but the cookies will set as they cool. Place the baking sheets on wire racks to cool completely.
