Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips
- Make-Ahead: Prepare the dough ahead of time! Store it in the fridge for up to 3 days before baking.
- Perfectly Soft Centers: Don’t overbake! The cookies should look slightly undercooked when you take them out; they will continue to bake on the sheet.
- Cookie Scoops: For even-sized cookies, use a cookie scoop to measure out the dough.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer enjoyment!
