Notes

  • Cookies Spread Too Much: These cookies may be different than traditional cookies that you have baked before. The first time I made them, they really spread and I thought it was a disaster. However, after they cooled, I found them to be just perfect.  When I baked them recently, they did not spread as much. I think that they may spread more or less depending on the size of the eggs that you use. Either way they are so delicious.
  • Storage: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container up to 3-4 days.
  • Variations: Add peanut butter chips or white chocolate chips in addition to the chocolate chips for a delicious twist.
