Additional Notes/Tips to Enhance Flavor

  • Want extra gooey cookies? Underbake them by 1-2 minutes.
  • For a twist, try adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans.
  • Make a double batch, because let’s be honest, these won’t last.
  • If you're feeling fancy, sprinkle sea salt on top before baking for a sweet-salty combo.
