Recipe Notes
*If using unsalted butter, add 1/2 tsp salt to recipe
**I use semi sweet chocolate chips. My favorite brands are Guittard or Ghirardelli.
***Buy a large bag of M&M's. Having extra on hand is never a bad thing! And you can decorate each cookie top with the extras.
You can scoop cookies onto sheet pan and flash freeze. Remove cookie dough balls to a freezer container or freezer bag, Dough will last for up to three months.
No need to defrost frozen cookie dough , just place on cookie sheet and increase bake time to 12-15 minutes.
