How long do they last?
Once the cookies have cooled completely to room temperature, place them in an airtight container. They will keep at room temperature for 2 to 3 days and in the fridge for 5 or 6.
Can you freeze them?
Yes, these cookies freeze really well and will keep for up to 3 months. Freeze the cookies solid on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag or safe container. Thaw frozen cookies at room temperature for 30 to 40 minutes before enjoying.
What’s the secret to soft cookies?
For the best chocolate chip cookies, I use a mix of brown and white sugar, and more brown than white. White sugar makes your cookies crispier, and brown sugar makes them softer, lighter and a little chewier.
The molasses in the brown sugar also has a deeper and richer flavor, making these cookies totally melt in your mouth.
Tips!
- I like to use a stand mixer to get the dough nicely combined, but you can mix them fully by hand.
- Use a cookie scoop to get similar sized cookies that will bake evenly.
- The cookies will spread during baking, so be sure to space them out on the cookie sheet.
- Bake the cookies in a fully pre-heated oven.
