• Place the filled dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.​

Bake the Cookies:

• Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly golden.​

• Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
