Cooking Tips:
Make sure your butter is softened before starting, as this helps to achieve a smoother dough.
For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them so they stay soft in the center.
Experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as dark or white chocolate, for varied flavors.
If you want a thicker cookie, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
Don’t overmix the dough to keep the cookies light and airy.
