Step 15

Bake at 345F | 174C for about 6-15 mins * Adjust the time and temperature depending on the oven and the size and thickness of your cookies.Chewy cookies: Be careful not to bake them too long: With my oven, it only takes 6-7 minutes with the size. Keep in mind that even if the cookies are very soft while they are hot, they get a lot harder once they are completely cooled. If you want them to be crispy, no need to worry about it!To enjoy the light and crispy texture, bake the cut-out cookies until you see nice golden caramelization around the edge.
