Notes
For softer cookies, remove them when centers still look slightly underbaked. For crispier cookies, bake one to two minutes longer. Freeze baked cookies or unbaked dough portions for up to three months. Handle warm cookies gently while they set. Customize flavors with nuts, dried fruit, spices, or different chips. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for four days or refrigerate for one week.
