Instructions

  • Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in chocolate chips, ensuring they're evenly distributed.
    2 cups chocolate chips
  • Chill (Optional): For best results, chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Shape and Bake: Drop spoonfuls (or use a cookie scoop) of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Devour warm or at room temperature!

Notes

  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze the dough or baked cookies.
  • Reheating: Microwave for a few seconds to restore that fresh-baked softness.
  • Variations: Add chopped nuts, white chocolate chips, or dried cranberries for a twist.
  • Tip: If you prefer extra-thick cookies, chill the dough overnight.
