16.5ouncesready to bake chocolate chip cookie dough
1½cupsmix-ins of your choicedivided (M&Ms, butterscotch chips, pretzels, crushed chips, chopped nuts, chocolate chunks, mini marshmallows)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350℉.
Allow cookie dough to come to room temperature or until it is soft and pliable.
Gently stir in 1 cup of the mix-ins, reserving the rest to decorate the cookies before baking.
Divide the dough into 10 cookies, about 3 tablespoons each, and place 3 inches apart on a greased baking sheet.
Press the remaining mix-ins on top of the balls of dough.
Bake for 9-11 minutes, they will still be soft. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
Nutrition calculated without optional mix-ins.
*6 large cookies can easily fit onto a baking sheet at a time.
**For soft, chewy cookies, remove when the edges of each cookie is golden brown and the middle is still gooey. It will look like the cookie isn't completely done in the center, but as they sit they'll finish cooking and collapse to create a dense, chewy, moist texture.
When removing cookies from baking sheet, wipe the spatula clean between batches. This will make it easier to slide under the soft cookies without breaking them.
