Notes
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking for the best flavor and texture.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature, placing a piece of bread inside to maintain softness.
For longer storage, freeze baked cookies or cookie dough balls, and bake from frozen with a slight adjustment to baking time.
Feel free to customize with different types of chocolate or nuts for variations!
