Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the packaging, usually around 350°F (175°C). Remove the dough from its packaging and allow it to soften slightly at room temperature for a few minutes if needed. Portion the dough into cookies using a spoon, cookie scoop, or by rolling and cutting shapes. Place the cookies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they have some space between them. Bake for the recommended time, typically 8-12 minutes, until the edges are golden brown. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
