Notes or Tips

• For a chewier texture, slightly underbake the cookies.
• Experiment with different types of chocolate candies for variety!

Cooking Techniques

To achieve the best texture and flavor, be sure to cream the butter and sugars together until fluffy, allowing air to incorporate into the mixture. This helps create a light and tender cookie that melts in your mouth.

FAQ

• Can I use margarine instead of butter? Yes, but the flavor and texture may change slightly.
• Can I freeze the dough? Absolutely! You can freeze the dough for up to three months. Just thaw before baking.
