Step 5 seems incomplete. Bake at 350 degrees F - FOR HOW LONG?

Depending on the size of the cookie, I would cook only 10 min. or less if you like them gooey. However I also do cookies on 375; with that much butter/shortening I wouldn't spray the sheet either. Try them first one way then the next sheet another way.
