🔥 Bake at 345F | 174C for about 6-15 mins
* Adjust the time and temperature depending on the oven and the size of your cookies.
* Be careful not to bake the chewy cookies too long: With my oven, it only takes 6-7 minutes with the size.
* Bake the cut-out cookies until you see nice golden caramelization around the edge to enjoy the light crispy texture.
