Notes
*You can use regular semisweet chocolate chips, dark, milk, or a combo of chocolate and peanut butter chips. We like dark chocolate the best.
Make Ahead: These cookies are best kept in the fridge for a few days and frozen for longer storage. They last quite awhile in the freezer and taste really fresh when defrosted.
