Preparation

  • Cover the dough and chill for 2 hours.

Baking

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Use a large 3oz cookie scoop to place 6 dough balls per cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 13-16 minutes until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  • Let the cookies sit on the cookie sheet for 4 minutes. While they are warm, top with extra mini chocolate chips, then transfer to a cooling rack.

Notes

These cookies are best served warm, right from the oven! Pair them with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
