Notes
Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature up to 10 days.
How to Freeze Cookie Dough: Scoop into balls and place on a lined baking sheet. Do not roll in sugar. Freeze for 2 hours. Place into a zip top freezer bag and freeze up to 3 months. Remove from freezer as needed, place on a baking sheet to slightly thaw. Roll in sugar, flatten and top with more mini chocolate chips. Bake 12-14 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
Cream of Tartar: If you don't have cream of tartar, substitute with baking powder. Baking powder is baking soda + cream of tartar. So you will use teaspoons of baking powder and skip the baking soda.
Chocolate Chips: I like the mini chocolate chips in these cookies but any variety or size will work.
