- You can chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes to help prevent spreading while baking.
- Experiment with different chocolate chip types, such as dark or white chocolate, for variety.
variation
You can add nuts like walnuts or pecans if you enjoy some crunch. Another variation is to mix in some oats for a chewy texture or add a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for an extra flavor boost.
FAQs

2. Can I make smaller cookies?
Absolutely! Just scoop smaller portions of dough and reduce the baking time to around 8-10 minutes.
3. What should I do if my cookies turn out flat?
