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.
