  • 1 tbsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. sea salt

  • Preheat oven to 350°.

  • Rotate pans on oven racks every 9 minutes while baking.
  • Cool cookie cups completely in pans before removing to wire racks or a serving platter. 

Notes

NOTE: My cookie cups took about 20 minutes to bake completely.
 
NOTE: You will probably need to stir the cookie dough about 5 minutes to get all the flour worked into it.
