Notes
- Press more chocolate chips on top before baking. This is how food bloggers make our milk chocolate chip cookies look as great as they taste!
- Substitutions: Pecans and walnuts would taste delicious as a swap for the macadamia nuts. Feel free to use dark, semi-sweet or white chocolate instead of milk chocolate, if you prefer.
- Crunchy cookies: I love these best when they're soft baked. For a crispy style cookie, add another couple of minutes to the baking time.
- Storage: store cookies in airtight containers at room temperature for up to one week. Or use our guide on how to freeze cookie dough.
