Notes
❖ Chill the Dough: For an even chewier texture, refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This helps the flavors meld together and reduces cookie spreading.
❖ Gluten-Free Option: You can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend if needed. However, the texture might differ slightly.
❖ Milk Variation: You can also experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as milk, dark, or white chocolate chips, depending on your preference.
