• For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides. Lightly butter the foil and sides of the pan.

Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then carefully remove the cookies using the foil as handles. Cool completely on a rack.
