- Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with a glass of milk!
Notes
For extra richness, add ½ cup of chocolate chips.
Make ahead: Refrigerate dough for up to 48 hours or freeze for later.
Use Dutch-processed cocoa for a darker, more intense flavor.
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
