🌟 Tips for Perfect Cookies
- Soft and chewy: Slightly underbake; centers will set as they cool.
- Extra buttery flavor: Use high-quality butter and don’t substitute margarine.
- Optional add-ins: Chopped nuts, toffee bits, or a sprinkle of sea salt on top.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
