## Equipment

- glass bowl
- wooden spoon
- baking sheet
- silicone baking mat
- ice cream scoop

## 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.

- Use mini chocolate chips for even chocolate distribution.
- Bake until just browning on top and still jiggly for soft cookies when cooled.
