  • 1 bag (8 oz) milk chocolate drops

Steps

  • 1

    Drop dough by 1/4 cupfuls about 3 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet.

    Bake 14 to 16 minutes or until light brown. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.

  • A trick for making drop cookies the same size and shape? Use a spring-handled cookie or ice-cream scoop. A #16 scoop holds 1/4 cup dough.
  • Unbaked cookie dough can be frozen in an airtight container up to 9 months. Before baking, thaw frozen dough in the refrigerator at least 8 hours.
