Mixing the Base

Preheat and Bake
  1. Preheat the oven to 350℉. Place dough balls 2 inches apart on a lined baking sheet.
Bake Time

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week. For longer storage, freeze for up to three months. Chill the dough to help maintain cookie shape and enhance flavors. Experiment with different types of chocolate chips.
