Notes & Variations
- Try adding 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or raisins to your recipe.
- Chilling the dough is optional but I believe it helps the cookies bake evenly
- Measure your flour properly, use a spoon to scoop the flower and drop into the measuring cup then level off the top. If you scoop with your measuring cup it packs the flour, so you end up with more than you need.
