Tips for Making The Recipe

  • Use a cookie sheet: use a nonstick cookie sheet rather than a baking sheet to help these cookies rise and get the soft, fluffy texture you see in the photos.
  • Use a cookie scoop: use a medium cookie scoop to get perfectly-sized and even cookies every time.

How to Know When the Cookies Are Done:

These cookies will rise and the edges will become lightly golden brown after 10 – 12 minutes. Take them out of the oven, let them cool for a minute on the cookie sheet and then transfer them to a wire rack.

Popular Additions & Substitutions:

  • Chocolate chunks: you can swap out chocolate chunks for chocolate chips if you prefer. Use the same amount and fold them into the batter as you would the chocolate chips.
  • Nuts: add 1/2 cup of walnuts or pecans to give these cookies and added crunch!
