To prepare, preheat your oven according to the package directions, usually around 350°F (175°C). Remove the cookie dough from its packaging and separate the individual cookies. Place them on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving some space between each one as they will spread. Bake for the recommended time, typically 9-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
