Tips and Variations

For an extra indulgent twist, try using chunks of dark chocolate instead of chips, or add a handful of chopped nuts for some crunch. If you love creative desserts, you might also enjoy exploring recipes like the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Parfait, which layers cookie dough with creamy goodness for a no-bake treat. To keep your cookies soft longer, store them in an airtight container with a slice of bread.
