1. Chill is Key: Always chill your dough! It thickens the cookies and enhances flavor.
2. Mix the Chips: Experiment with different chocolate chip brands for a gourmet touch.
3. Don’t Skip Toppings: Sprinkling on some flaky sea salt right before baking heightens the flavors!
4. Use Cold Butter: If you have time, let it sit out for a bit but don’t melt it completely. Cold butter creates thicker cookies.

FAQs

Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?

Yes, but it may change the texture a bit. I suggest using half whole wheat and half all-purpose for a healthier option without sacrificing too much flavor!

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can make the dough a day in advance. Just cover well and store it in the fridge.

How do I get my cookies to be even thicker?

Using colder ingredients and chilling the dough longer will help create those ultimate thick cookies.
