Which cook time is correct?
Renée says
Oooh, so sorry about the conflicting bake times, Diane! I'll fix that right away.
Bake them in a 350-degree oven (not convection) for 20-22 minutes, or if you like a softer cookie, leave them in for less time. Maybe like 12-15 minutes (not convection).
Thanks for bringing my error to my attention. I appreciate it.
Take good care,
Renee
