  Place the baking sheets on the grill grates. Close the lid and bake the cookies, rotating the pans 180° halfway through, until the edges are light golden brown and the centers are soft and gooey, 10-12 minutes. Remove the baking sheets from the grill and transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Leftover cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
