Notes
- The cookie dough should be chilled before baking, chilling the dough for a minimum of 30 minutes will minimize how much the cookies spread when baked.
- For best results opt for semi sweet or bitter sweet chocolate chips. Milk chocolate chips will result in a cookie that’s too sweet.
- After removing the cookies from the oven allow them to cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
