Tips to Make Buttery Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Make sure your butter is soft but not melted for the best texture.
- Don’t overmix the dough once you add the dry ingredients; this keeps the cookies soft.
- If you like nuts, you could add chopped walnuts or pecans to the cookie dough for some extra crunch.
- For a chewier cookie, chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking.
Variation
You can switch up the chocolate chips for white chocolate chips or make a mix of semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips for a deeper flavor. Adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking can enhance the chocolate flavor too!
