- Scoop about 1 ½ heaping tablespoons of cookie dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 3 inches apart.

- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and soften ingredients to room temperature. Don't skip the chilling step to keep cookies from spreading. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
