Baking Sheet – I like to use a large baking sheet, and give these cookies about 2 inches of space in between so they can rise in the oven!
Parchment Paper – I love using parchment paper when I’m baking cookies for easy clean up afterwards!
Cookie Scoop – I use a medium 2 ounce cookie scoop! You want to make sure you have plenty of cookie dough, so you can flatten it out and have enough to wrap around the filling!
