Note

Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. The cookies will remain crunchy if kept dry.

Substitutions: You can use unsalted chips and add a pinch of salt to the dough if you prefer more control over the sodium content. Almonds, walnuts, or pecans work well as nut substitutions.

Tip: Ensure the butter is softened but not melted for the best creaming texture. Do not overmix the dough after adding the flour to keep the cookies tender.
