Recipe Tips & Tricks

  • Cooking times will vary by oven so keep an eye on them.
  • Because the cookies are so soft when they come out of the oven, they will break apart if you try to move them too soon. I let mine rest for 10 minutes, until the next batch came out of the oven and they were perfect.
  • For larger cookies, use a 2-Tablespoon sized cookie scoop and bake for 10 minutes.
  • I used Lily’s dark chocolate chips, but you can also use Lily’s semi-sweet for a sweeter cookie if you prefer.
  • With the holidays coming up I chose to use a combination of vanilla and peppermint extracts in my cookies.
  • For mocha flavored cookies, add 1 teaspoon of espresso powder.
