How far apart should drop cookies be placed on the sheet?

You should leave 2 inches between drop cookies on the sheet. This allows for adequate space for the cookies to spread and prevents them from sticking together or burning.

Here are some additional factors to consider:

* Cookie size: Larger cookies will need more space than smaller cookies.

* Cookie recipe: Some recipes spread more than others. If you are unsure, start with 2 inches and adjust as needed.

* Oven temperature: If your oven is running hot, you may need to increase the space between cookies to prevent burning.

Pro Tip: Use a cookie scoop to ensure even-sized cookies for consistent baking results.
