Notes
Bake the cookies until just browned on the edges. The centers will be soft and seem unfinished when first removed from the oven but will firm more when they cool.
If you're using the meatball mold and cooking the cookies from frozen, I usually set the oven to 350 degrees and cook for slightly longer. The time may depend on your oven but I usually look for them to just begin to brown on the edges.
