RECIPE NOTES
*Correctly measuring the ingredients is key. I suggest either weighing the ingredients or aerating the flour (sifting or fluffing) and then scooping and leveling. Packing in too much flour will cause the cookies not to spread.
**Can substitute 4 ounces finely chopped semisweet baking chocolate for chocolate chips.
***I suggest stirring this recipe together by hand rather than using a hand or stand mixer.
****Nutrition values are estimates.
