7. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain soft.
9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
– For softer cookies, slightly underbake and let them set on the baking sheet.
– Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
– Freeze the dough for later use—just scoop into balls and freeze on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag.
– Substitute raisins with dried cranberries for a twist.
