Notes
-
- Don't forget to line your baking sheet so they don't stick.
- Using a cookie scoop helps to make sure they're even-sized, but a tablespoon will work just as well.
- For a festive touch for the holidays, add sprinkles.
- Rice Krispies or Chex cereal can also be used.
- You can drizzle the chocolate over the cookies with a fork, or add the melted chocolate to a ziploc bag and snip the corner. Then, use it like a piping bag.
- Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
