Tips
- • Make sure your butter is truly at room temperature for the perfect creamy texture • Don't overmix the dough - mix just until ingredients are combined to keep cookies tender • Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and even baking • For extra richness, try using a mix of chocolate chips - semi-sweet and dark chocolate • Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to prevent breaking • Store in an airtight container to keep them fresh and soft for up to 5 days • For a game-day twist, consider adding team-colored sprinkles or decorating with Saints-themed icing
