Notes
- To soften butter, but not melt it, microwave for 10 seconds and additional 5 seconds increments until soft (use a fork to test softness).
- Feel free to use chocolate chips or mini chocolate chips instead of chocolate chunks. Double the amount for a bigger chocolate burst.
- Cookie batter can be frozen in cookie balls and baked according to the directions without needing to thaw.
