Chill the scoop doughs for at least 10 mins. THIS STEP IS CRUCIAL!
While your dough is chilling preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
After the 10 minutes place the scooped cookie dough onto a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 mins or just until the sides of the cookies are just barely browned. The baking time will vary on your oven and how big your cookie dough balls are.
