Recipes Tips
If you want your cookies to be extra chewy, try using bread flour instead of all-purpose flour. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon to the dough for an extra depth of flavor.
Be sure to let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help them set and prevent them from breaking apart.
If you're short on time, you can refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
