Bake the cookies until they have just set, about 8 minutes. DO NOT OVER BAKE! These bake really fast and if you over bake them, they will burn and be as hard as a rock. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 1 minute and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
