Notes
Tips and Tricks
- Butter: Use unsalted butter for better control over salt in the recipe.
- Sugars: Light brown sugar adds moisture and chewiness, while white sugar helps with crisp edges.
- Eggs: Using an extra yolk makes the cookies chewier and richer.
- Baking Time: Watch your cookies closely; ovens vary! Remove cookies when edges are golden, centers may look slightly underbaked—this keeps them chewy.
- Storage: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
