Notes
Tips for Making the Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Don’t over bake! Over baking by leaving them in the oven too long, or at too high of a temperature can lead to browning/burning on the bottom before they are done inside.
- If you are not a fan of nuts, you can leave the walnuts out of the recipe. Just make sure to add 2 extra tablespoons of all purpose flour if you do leave them out.
- Make sure to chill the dough for best results.
- Measure the flour accurately. Use a knife to level it off to make sure you get exact measurements.
