Notes
- Chill the dough: For even thicker, chewier cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Browning the butter: If you want a nutty, deeper flavor, brown the butter before using it in the recipe.
- Cookie storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Add-ins: You can swap out the nuts for dried fruit or even mix in peanut butter chips for extra richness!
