Tips
Adding melted butter instead of solid butter helps the sugars to dissolve.
Gently bring the cookie balls together so that it stays light and airy.
Do not smooth the edges of the cookie balls.
The edges provide extra surface area so that the cookies can get crispy while baking.
Cover and chill for at least 4 hours so that the flavors can come together.
If you don like dark chocolate chips, you can raise the milk chocolate ratio or just use semi-sweet entirely.
Bake these fresh at your friend's birthday party and they were a smash hit!
