Notes

Use dark or milk chocolate chunks for a chocolate mix variation.Stir in chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for added crunch.Brown butter can be used for a deeper, nuttier flavor.Substitute flaky Maldon salt for sea salt or omit for less saltiness.Use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.Chill dough before baking to prevent spreading.
