Cooking Tips:

• Make sure your butter is softened before starting, as this helps to achieve a smoother dough.
• For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them so they stay soft in the center.
• Experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as dark or white chocolate, for varied flavors.
• If you want a thicker cookie, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
• Don’t overmix the dough to keep the cookies light and airy.
