Notes

  • Store cookies in an airtight container and enjoy within 5 days.
  • The cookie dough can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days before baking.
  • If the dough is cold going into the oven, bake for 1 additional minute.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before rolling into balls if you have the extra time. These are good not chilled but even better if you have a few extra minutes to chill the dough before baking.
  • Try a variety of different chocolate toppers. Anything that melts well works great. Try chocolates with fillings like peanut butter cups, caramel filled chocolates, and more.
  • To freeze the cookie dough, roll out into balls and roll in sugar. Freeze the balls individually on a baking sheet for then place all of the balls together on a baking sheet. Let them thaw in the refrigerator before baking.
