Notes
- You can bake the dough right away, which saves time.
- Once you add the dry ingredients, mix just until combined to avoid tough cookies.
- This helps the dough come together more smoothly and evenly.
- Make sure the melted butter has cooled slightly before mixing to prevent scrambling the egg.
- Cookies should be slightly underbaked in the centre when you take them out to keep them soft and chewy.
- Press a few extra chocolate chips on top of the dough balls before baking for that bakery-style look.
