  • Tightly cover the dough and refrigerate for 1 hour. While the dough chills, preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Remove the chilled cookie dough from the refrigerator. Working in batches, use a cookie scoop to scoop 2-tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, making sure to place them at least 2 inches apart. Refrigerate any remaining dough while the first batch of cookies bake.
  • Press the reserved chocolate chips into the tops of each cookie - do not flatten the cookie dough balls.

  • Bake for 12-13 minutes, or until the edges are set and the bottoms are lightly browned.
  • Let the cookies cool on a baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Bake as cookie bars in a 9x13-inch pan to save time.
  • For extra thick and chewy cookies, shape the cookie dough ball to be taller than wider nice.
  • Choose your sprinkle colors to match the holiday season. Easy festive treats!
Storage: Store cake batter cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
