- Place the dough in the fridge to chill for 3 hours.
- When the dough is chilled, prepare a 9x11 baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a tablespoon to scoop pieces of dough onto the baking sheet. Keeping each about 2 inches apart. Fill the cookie sheet and place it in the oven.

Notes
- Why Do You Need To Chill The Dough? I highly recommend not skipping chilling the dough. if baked right away, these cookies will end up flat and bland. However, as the dough spends more time in the fridge, it will develop better texture and a richer, more caramelized flavor.
- To Store. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- How To Divide an Egg? Simply measure the egg by volume and divide accordingly:
- Gently mix the egg with a fork, combining the white and yolk together or separately, as per the recipe's instructions.
- Pour the egg into a measuring cup or spoon.
- Measure out the required amount, whether it's ½, ⅓, or ¼ depending o the recipe. In this amos cookies recipe we need only ⅓.
