Notes
Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for the best mixing. Don’t overmix the dough once you add the flour to keep the cookies tender. If you prefer softer cookies, take them out of the oven a bit earlier. Experiment with different types of chocolate chips or add nuts for extra flavor. You can add chopped nuts, like walnuts or pecans, for a crunchy texture. You can also use white chocolate or dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate for a different flavor.
