Note
Ensure brown sugar is packed firmly into the measuring cup for accurate sweetness and texture.
For a softer cookie, reduce baking time by 1-2 minutes. For crispier edges, bake for an extra minute.
Dough can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Scoop into balls before freezing.
Substitute butter for shortening for a richer flavor, though cookies may spread more.
