Note

Storage: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. You can also freeze the dough balls for up to 3 months; bake from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to the baking time.

Ingredient Substitutions: For a nutty variation, substitute 1 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans for half of the chocolate chips. Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for proper creaming.

Variation - Cookie Bars: To make bars, spread the batter into a greased 15.5x10x1 inch jelly-roll pan. Bake at 375ÃÂ°F for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely before cutting into bars.

Tip: For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Do not overbake; the cookies will continue to set as they cool.
