Tips and Tricks
If you like your cookies extra chocolaty, you could use a combination of semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips. You could also add chopped walnuts or pecans to the cookie dough for a nutty flavor. If you like your cookies extra soft, you can bake them for a few minutes less. Be careful not to overbake the cookies or they will be dry and crispy.
These chocolate chip cookies are best eaten the day they are made. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. You can also freeze the cookie dough and bake the cookies as needed. To freeze the cookie dough, form it into a log and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. When you are ready to bake, slice the dough into 1/4 inch slices and bake for 12-14 minutes.
These soft chocolate chip cookies are sure to be a hit with family and friends. Enjoy them with a glass of cold milk and you have the perfect snack!
