Notes
Notes & Tips
- For chewy cookies: Slightly underbake, they’ll continue to firm up as they cool.
- For crunchier cookies: Bake an extra 2–3 minutes until more golden.
- Mix-ins: Swap cashews for pecans, almonds, or macadamias. Dried cherries also work beautifully instead of cranberries.
- Storage: Keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Even baking: Always use an ice cream scoop so cookies are the same size and bake evenly.
