Note

For best results, ensure the margarine is softened but not melted to maintain proper texture.

These cookies are quite small due to the teaspoon-sized portions; adjust scoop size if you prefer larger cookies, but baking time may need slight extension.

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

You can substitute miniature chocolate chips with regular chips cut in half for a more intense chocolate flavor in each bite.
