Bake for about 12 minutes or until golden brown and flat, rotating the sheets halfway through baking. Bake in batches if needed.

After removing the sheet pans from the oven, hold them about 6 inches above the counter and drop them a few times to further flatten the cookies.

Let the cookies cool on the sheet pans for 5 minutes, then use a thin spatula to transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
