Note

Ensure butter is softened but not melted for best texture.

For a chewier cookie, use more brown sugar than white sugar.

You can substitute chopped walnuts or pecans for the generic "nut meats."

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Dough can be scooped and frozen on a tray, then transferred to a bag for later baking. Add 1-2 minutes to baking time if baking from frozen.
