8-10 minutes and watch closely, since ovens vary in heating ability.

Let cookies cool on the cookie sheet for two minutes to make them easier to remove from the sheet. If cookies have cooled too long and are difficult to remove, reheat the cookie sheet in the oven for one minute, then remove the cookies from the sheet.
Cool cookies thoroughly before storing them. In dry weather, store crisp
cookies in a container with a loose-fitting lid. If the weather is humid, use
a container that closes tightly.
To avoid sticky dough, always make sure your cookie dough is well chilled.
TIP: Spraying your clean hands with nonstick cooking spray, or using a knife
to cut the dough apart makes for easier handling.
