3. Add Your Mix-Ins
Fold in your chocolate chips and chopped nuts, if using. Feel free to get creative: peanut butter chips, white chocolate, or even a pinch of sea salt work wonderfully too.
4. Scoop the Dough
Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop the dough onto your prepared baking sheet. Leave 2 inches between cookies, as they will spread slightly.
5. Bake to Perfection
Bake for 8â10 minutes. The edges should look set, but the centers may appear slightly underbakedâthatâs exactly what you want. Theyâll firm up as they cool, leaving you with that signature fudgy bite.
6. Cool & Devour
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This step is key to maintaining their chewy texture.
đŞ Tips & Tricks for Cookie Success
Donât Overbake! These cookies can dry out quickly. Pull them from the oven when theyâre just barely set in the center.
Chill for Thicker Cookies: If your dough is too sticky or you want a puffier cookie, chill it for 15â30 minutes before baking.
Customize It: Add instant espresso powder to boost the chocolate flavor or swirl in peanut butter before baking.
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 daysâor freeze for longer storage!
