Pro Tips for the Best Cookies
- Use a Baking Stone for Even Baking – While any baking sheet will work, a stone helps distribute heat more evenly, creating perfectly baked cookies every time.
- Don’t Overbake! – These cookies may look slightly underdone when you take them out, but they’ll firm up as they cool, keeping that irresistible chewiness.
- Customize Your Cookies – Try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for an extra flavor boost, or swap white chocolate for dark or milk chocolate chips!
