  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned and the centers are set.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra chewiness, slightly underbake the cookies. You can substitute raisins with dried cranberries or nuts for variation.
