Notes
Bake a shorter time for softer cookies or slightly longer for crispier edges. Freeze baked cookies in airtight containers for easy meal prep. Chill sticky dough before assembly for neater scooping. Add nuts, dried fruit, or different chips for flavor variety. Store at room temperature for two days or refrigerate for one week.
