Notes
If you want
really
gooey cookies, add
¼
cup powdered sugar to the batter and increase bake time by one minute.
This cookie dough is best when cold. It makes it easier to work with and produces a fuller cookie.
Use a cookie scoop if you have one to avoid sticky fingers and make consistent size cookies.
To make clean up a breeze, I line my cookie sheets with parchment paper.
