Soften the butter by setting it at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes or by warming it very briefly in the microwave. Shake the bottle of Just Egg well and measure 100mL.

Scoop 2-ounce (¼ cup) portions of dough onto a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 13 minutes, until the cookies are lightly browned on the bottoms and the centers are not too gooey. Let cool on the baking sheet for about five minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

This cookie dough will keep covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours if you’d like to bake it at a different time.
