Directions

- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.

Tips & Variations
- Ingredient Substitutions: You can substitute the unsalted butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free option. If you need a lower sugar version, consider using a sugar substitute that works for baking.
- Optional Variations: For added flavor, try incorporating nuts like walnuts or pecans, or experiment with different types of chocolate chips such as dark chocolate or white chocolate.
- Storage or Reheating Tips: Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. To enjoy them warm, simply pop them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
