8. Cover with another tablespoon of dough, sealing edges to encase filling.
9. Place on prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies 2 inches apart.
10. Bake 12–14 minutes until edges are golden but centers are slightly soft.
11. Cool on the pan 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Chilling the dough for 30 minutes helps prevent spreading.
