Tips from our Recipe Developer
- Creaming the butter and sugar for 2 minutes is going to help allow the butter and sugar to become ultra-creamy. This is going to help the texture of the cookies.
- Slowly mix in the flour mixture a little at a time. Once the cookie dough is well mixed then fold in the chocolate chips.
- In terms of chocolate any flavor of chocolate chips work. From dark to milk chocolate or even white chocolate if you want.
- You can make a homemade frosting instead of buying a jar if you want. Any flavor of frosting will work great.
- Make sure to grease the cookie sheet well. This will prevent the cookies from sticking to the pan.
- Allow the cookies to fully cool before you go and frost the cookies.
- You can change up the Chip Ahoy cookies to your favorite crumbled cookie. Try an Oreo cookie crumble.
