🔥 Tips & Variations
- Chewy cookies: Use more brown sugar than white sugar.
- Crispy cookies: Bake a minute or two longer for crunchier edges.
- Extra chocolatey: Mix in chocolate chunks or drizzle melted chocolate on top.
- Add-ins: Try oats, peanut butter chips, or dried cranberries.
- Chill dough: Refrigerate for 30 minutes to prevent spreading for thicker cookies.
