Notes

  • Make sure you space your dough out 1-2 inches apart before baking. Otherwise, the cookies just melt and cook together.
  • If you like your cookies sweeter, add in another half a cup of chocolate chips. 
  • If you prefer to eat warm cookies, only let them cool for about 5 or 10 minutes. Otherwise, let them cool completely.
Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
