Notes
- Flatten the Cookies: These cookies aren't going to spread in the oven. Make sure to flatten them out with your palm to shape them into cookies.
- Storing the Cookies: Store these cookies in an airtight container for up to a week. They also freeze well if you want to save them for later.
- Chocolate Chip Toppings: This is more of a note for aesthetic purposes, but save a few chocolate chips to place on top of the cookies so they each have a beautiful display of chocolatey goodness on top.
