Tips

  • Use softened, not melted, butter to prevent cookies from spreading too thin.
  • Mix dry ingredients on top of wet ingredients in the same bowl to avoid dirtying an extra bowl.
  • Do not overmix the flour; mix until just absorbed.
  • Use mini chocolate chips for even chocolate distribution.
  • Bake until just browning on top and still jiggly for soft cookies when cooled.
