Notes
Bake a shorter time for softer cookies or a bit longer for crispier edges. Freeze baked cookies in an airtight container for up to three months. Chill sticky dough before assembly for easier scooping. Try nuts, dried fruit, or different chips for flavor variety. Store at room temperature for two days or refrigerate for one week.
