Using rounded tablespoonful per cookie, squeeze batter into balls; place about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake in top and bottom thirds of 350°F oven for about 15 minutes or until lightly browned, rotating and switching pans halfway through. Let cool on pans on racks for 5 minutes. Transfer to racks and let cool completely. (Make-ahead: Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or - Freeze for up to 1 month).
