- Flavor Boost: Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the cookies before baking for a sweet and salty flavor profile.
- Mix-ins: Feel free to add chopped nuts, dried fruit, or white chocolate chips for a fun twist.
- Storage: Dough can be frozen for up to 3 months. Roll into balls, freeze on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding an extra minute or two to the baking time.
