Extra Tips:

  • For a special treat, sandwich two of these all-time favorites together with a scoop of chocolate ice cream. Roll the edge in chopped candy bar or nuts.
  • Want the perfect bumpy top on your cookies? Wipe off any excess dough and sugar that may collect between the tines of the fork.
