Making It Your Own (Swaps & Ideas)
You can switch up the flavors by using different nuts, adding dried fruits, or using white chocolate chips instead of regular chocolate. If you want to make them less sweet, reduce the sugars a bit.
How We Love to Serve It
I love serving these cookies warm, right out of the oven, paired with a cup of hot coffee or tea. They also make a lovely gift for friends or family. Just stack them in a cute box for a homey treat.
A Few Tips For Success
Make sure not to over-mix your dough, as this can lead to tougher cookies. Also, keep an eye on them while baking; every oven is different. Once the edges are golden, they are ready to come out.
Saving Some For Later
These cookies stay fresh for about a week in an airtight container. You can also freeze the dough for future baking. Just scoop the dough onto a baking sheet, freeze until firm, then transfer to a bag. Bake them right from the freezer!
