Notes
Feel free to tweak the recipe to your taste! I love adding some nuts or a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor. 🍪
If you like a chewier cookie, reduce the baking time slightly. For a more crispy texture, let them bake a minute longer.
Remember that baking times can vary, so keep an eye on them during the last few minutes. Enjoy! 😊
