Notes

Don’t overmix – gently mix to avoid a dry, tough cookie.
Slightly underbake – let it rest on the pan for 10 minutes to finish setting.
Extra chocolate chips – press a few on top before or right after baking for a gooey finish.
Make 4 mini cookies from one dough ball; bake for 8 minutes.
Switch up mix-ins: try chopped nuts, M&M’s, white chocolate, sprinkles, or dried cranberries.
Keep in an airtight container at room temp for up to 4 days.
