Tips and Notes
- Use room-temperature butter. This ensures a creamier batter and better texture.
- Do not overmix. Mix until just combined to maintain that chewy texture.
- Chill the dough. For best results, chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This helps the cookies maintain their shape and height.
- Experiment with chips. Feel free to mix in nuts or try different types of chocolate chips like dark or white chocolate.
- Store properly. Keep cookies in an airtight container to maintain their chewiness.
Enjoy baking, and these cookies will quickly become a favorite treat in your home!
