Recipe Tips & Notes

  • I baked three batches of cookies at after chilling each batch for varied times (one of them I didn’t chill at all). What I found was that chilling doesn’t make a significant difference. The more chilled cookie dough did hold it’s shape slightly better and baked into a slightly softer cookie. But nothing significant. Which means… it’s your call whether or not you want to chill the dough for 5-10 minutes before baking 🙂
