Notes
- Use room-temp butter for best texture. Cold butter makes tough cookies.
- Chill dough 30 mins for thicker cookies. Prevents spreading.
- Swap half chips for white chocolate. Adds fun twist.
- Add 1/2 tsp cinnamon for warm spice. Like fall in every bite.
- For gluten-free, use 1:1 flour blend. Tastes just as good.
- Bake one sheet at a time. Even heat means perfect results.
