# How to Make It:

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are just golden.

Allow cookies to cool on the sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. If desired, drizzle with orange preserves before serving.
