🔄 Two Ways to Make It

🔥 Oven Method

1. Preheat to 175°C (350°F).
2. Shape the dough into a ball and flatten slightly on a parchment-lined tray.
3. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until golden on the edges.
4. Let cool for 2–3 minutes — this helps the cookie firm up just right.

⚡ Microwave Method

1. Flatten dough onto a microwave-safe plate.
2. Microwave on high for 45–60 seconds.
3. Cool for 1 minute — it’ll be soft and gooey straight out of the microwave but sets as it cools!

✨ Chef’s Tip: For ultra-soft texture, go with the microwave version. For a crisp edge and chewy center, oven is best!
