08 - Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers remain soft.
09 - Allow cookies to cool on the tray for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
10 - Once fully cooled, store cookies in an airtight container to maintain their chewy texture and crisp edges.

# Notes:

01 - Do not overmix the dough; minimal mixing ensures a soft and chewy cookie texture.
