Notes

NOTE: The secret to these cookies is making sure they are not crowded. Give them plenty of space when baking as they spread.

NOTE: These cookies would taste great with any kind of chip: butterscotch, cinnamon, peanut butter, vanilla, white chocolate, mint chocolate chips—even additions like Oreos, Heath Toffee Bits, Crème de Menthe baking chips, or peppermint baking chips would work as alternative options for this delicious cookie.

NOTE: My cookies took about 20 minutes to bake because they were large.
