These are the Chocolate Chip Cookies of my goals! It solely took 48 makes an attempt. 😅 Superior crispy outsides, soft-baked insides, wonderful chewiness, intensely buttery with butterscotch tones, distinctive shelf life. A copycat of Australia’s well-known Butter Boy cookies – however higher!
On a private observe, thanks to everybody who left such sort, supporting messages on my burn out put up a few months in the past. I’m again! Nicely rested, I’ve a brand new assistant, a lot has occurred, and I’ll do a catch up put up subsequent week!
The Chocolate Chip Cookies of my goals
These began out as a easy copycat of the milk choc cookies from Butter Boy, a well-liked cookie store right here in Sydney. I really feel like I’ve tried my justifiable share of internet-famous cookies, and these are the primary which have lived as much as the hype.
However at $8.50 a pop, making a do-it-yourself model was a no brainer! Plus, I used to be in a position to tweak them to my very own style – comparable to making them a bit much less candy (the Butter Boy ones are so candy!), extra buttery flavour – and most significantly, a model that may be made in common dwelling kitchens.
It took 48 makes an attempt, creating it then retesting and stress testing iterations. However it was price it! I’m thrilled with the ultimate outcome, my final chocolate chip cookies which are every part I dream a cookie to be!
These chocolate chip cookies are….
….the Rolls Royce of cookies in my cookie assortment!
-
They boast a wealthy, buttery taste with deep butterscotch undertones, due to browned butter (which is actually simply simmered melted butter). This easy magic ingredient ensures unbelievable style, whether or not you employ budget-friendly or premium butter.
-
Superior texture – thick crisp, golden crust with tender, chewy insides. Their beneficiant measurement permits for an extended sufficient bake to create a wonderful crispy floor whereas retaining the centre irresistibly gooey which is extremely tender and moist however not blatantly uncooked cookie dough (not a fan of uncooked flour style);
-
Each side of those cookies is elevated by an in a single day dough chill – flavour, crispiness, chew, color, and even shelf life. I’ve examined so many with and with out chilling, and shorter fridge occasions to match facet by facet. I’m now a believer – there’s merely no option to cheat time!
-
They price 70% lower than the Butter Boy cookies. And in my humble opinion, they style higher. I’d be delighted to listen to ideas from Butter Boy die-hard followers who do that recipe!
PS These cookies are BIG. Intentional, to allow them to be baked lengthy sufficient to develop an ideal crispy crust whereas retaining the within soft-baked.
Additionally – proof of crispy base and tender baked insides (I pressed with my finger so you possibly can see it’s not cakey, dry or crumbly):
Components in The Chocolate Chip Cookies
Right here’s what it is advisable make these. No uncommon elements, attaining the right consequence got here all the way down to a really precise quantity of every ingredient. See FAQ for extra data – like are you able to cut back sugar (no!), can these be made gluten free (sadly not!).
For the cookie dough
-
Plain flour / all objective flour – Please don’t substitute with self elevating flour. This recipe requires a a lot lessor quantity of baking powder than what’s constructed into self elevating flour.
-
Brown and white sugar – Every of those convey totally different qualities to cookies. The brown sugar provides color, chew and caramely flavour, whereas the white sugar makes the cookies crispy. I take advantage of caster sugar (superfine sugar) because it dissolves extra simply in baked items because the grains are finer so it’s my default sugar for baked items. Nonetheless, common white sugar (granulated sugar) additionally works advantageous.
-
Unsalted butter – Chopped into items so it melts extra evenly as we’re browning the butter. I want to make use of unsalted butter so I can management the quantity of salt added into the recipe.
-
Cooking salt – I take advantage of 1/2 teaspoon of salt in these cookies which can sound like rather a lot however it actually works right here to offset the sweetness and improve all of the unbelievable flavours on this cookie. Belief the method! See recipe notes for utilizing desk salt and salt flakes.
-
Egg + egg yolk – Utilizing an egg yolk rather than a second entire egg provides richness, plus to be sincere, I didn’t want a complete second egg and it’s simpler to measure out a yolk than 1/2 an egg. 🙂 Be sure to use giant eggs that are 50-55g / 2oz every within the shell, offered in cartons labelled “giant eggs”. In case you solely have jumbo or XL eggs, see this put up for methods to measure out the correct quantity.
-
Baking powder and baking soda (bi-carbonate) – In cookies, baking powder makes them rise, whereas baking soda makes them unfold, so don’t swap them! After a lot testing, I discovered 1/4 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp baking soda created the right form and texture.
-
Cornflour / cornstarch – A baking trick I picked up in my time, somewhat cornflour softens the within of cookies with out affecting the crispy exterior. Plus, adjusting the quantity controls their form – simply 1 tablespoon further turns it into a giant dome form!
-
Vanilla – For flavour. Vanilla extract please, not imitation essence.
The choc chips
Chocolate chips are key in chocolate chip cookies! 😂 So unsurprisingly, I’ve ideas. I attempted chopped chocolate however most well-liked chips for these huge cookies – they disperse higher all through moderately than having bigger chunks however much less of them.
I combine darkish and milk chocolate for balanced sweetness – 250g darkish (semi-sweet) and 150g milk chocolate chips (that are a lot sweeter than darkish chocolate). Since commonplace Aussie choc chip packs are 200g, be at liberty to only use one pack of every or use chopped chocolate as an alternative!
These cookies have to be refrigerated for 12 hours. Sorry!
As soon as I landed on my “good” cookie recipe that required an in a single day chill, I used to be positive I may tweak it to be simply pretty much as good (or 98% pretty much as good) with solely an hour or so within the fridge.
I actually tried. (48 variations, keep in mind!). However I used to be improper. 😅 When you’ve had the in a single day chilled model, there’s no going again. The perfect I bought was 90% pretty much as good – seems, you possibly can’t cheat time!
what does refrigerating cookie dough do?
It improves just about each side of this cookie:
-
flavour develops
-
exterior bakes up crisper
-
inside is chewier
-
color is a richer golden color
-
cookie floor bakes up nicer
-
shelf life is superior. Wonderful 3 days, nonetheless nice 5 days. The shelf life high quality reduces for shorter fridge occasions. Common choc chip cookie recipes are noticeably stale on day 3, I discover.
-
flour is hydrated and butter solidifies so the cookies bake thick with tender baked centre moderately than spreading skinny and crispy
DIFFERENT COOKING DOUGH CHILL TIMES
Right here is how the cookie is affected by totally different cookie dough chill occasions:
-
1 hour – naked minimal chill time, cookie works and is tasty. It isn’t as golden and there’s a faint crackly pores and skin on the perimeters if you happen to look intently, which I do! There’s additionally noticeably much less chew than the 12 hour dough chill. Personally I’d make Browned Butter Choc Oatmeal Cookies as an alternative.
-
5 hours – minimal chill time I’ll make these, deemed firm worthy.
-
⭐️ 12 to 24 hours⭐️ – optimum, the bottom recipe!
-
24 to 48 hours – simply as nice, however have to be actually positive cookies are in a brilliant hermetic container because the dough is prone to drying out (I cowl with cling wrap in an hermetic container.
-
Past 48 hours – diminishing returns plus greater danger of dough drying out on the floor (past 4 days I’d additionally question meals security). Higher to freeze after 12 hours.
-
Freezing – The uncooked dough may be frozen after 12 to 24 hours within the fridge in hermetic containers, cling wrap or ziplock luggage. Bake from frozen or thaw then bake (I do that as a result of they’re precisely like the unique. Cookies baked from frozen are a bit thicker and barely much less crispy on the bottom).
The right way to make The Chocolate Chip Cookies
Are you able to see how simple it’s to make the Chocolate Chip Cookie of your goals??
1. BROWN THE BUTTER
Browning butter is so simple as melting butter then letting it simmer till it modifications from yellow to golden brown which solely takes a couple of minutes. This intensifies the buttery flavour and makes the cookies style buterscotchy. For this recipe, it’s essential as a result of it ranges the enjoying discipline whether or not making this cookie with economical or premium butter. 
-
Soften butter in a silver or different non-black saucepan or small pan. Simmer the melted butter on medium to medium excessive for 3 to five minutes or till you see little golden bits (that are the dairy bits that go toasty) and you may odor the nuttiness. The butter may also change from yellow to golden brown in color.
❓Why does the color of the cooking vessel matter? It’s simpler to see when the butter modifications from yellow to golden. If utilizing a black pan, it is advisable depend on your odor or utilizing a spoon to scoop the butter as much as examine the color.
-
Take away from the range and instantly pour it into a big mixing bowl (together with all of the little brown bits – further flavour!). Work rapidly as it would proceed browning. Then let it cool for 45 minutes+ to room temperature.
⚠️ Cooling – The browned butter ought to nonetheless be liquid (ie not solidified bits, not even across the edges) however cool sufficient so it won’t soften the sugar or the choc chips. If it solidifies, then re-melt within the microwave and funky once more.
2. The dough is really easy!
You simply want a picket spoon, no stand mixer!
-
Whisk Dry elements in a bowl.
-
Moist elements – To the cooled brown butter, combine in each sugars utilizing a picket spoon. It should seem like moist sand. Then add the egg, yolk and vanilla and blend. It should seem like a a thick caramel (however with seen advantageous sugar grains).
-
Make dough – Add the flour into the butter bowl and blend. When the flour is generally included, add the choc chips then combine properly till all of the flour is absolutely included.
-
FAT DISCS not balls (and so they’re BIG!) – Divide the combination into 8 equal mounds. They are going to be 1/2 cup barely heaped / 155g every (5.3 oz). Roll into balls to correctly seal all cracks (which is able to cut up throughout baking) then form right into a fats disc 3.75cm/1.5″ thick. See FAQ for chatter about this form and why form earlier than chilling.
⚠️ Don’t fear if no choc chips are seen on the floor, we are going to add extra for adorning as soon as baked. Don’t attempt urgent further choc chips onto the dough after after shaping, they are going to seemingly cut up and type ugly crevices when the cookies bake. Mega cookies behave in a different way to common cookies – they’re prima donnas!
❓Smaller cookies? Completely. They work very well for small cookies, say 1 to three tbsp (20 – 60g / ~0.7 – 2 oz) however be sure you roll into balls as an alternative of flattening into discs. The bake time is 12 to 14 minutes (see recipe card for
-
Fridge 12 – 24 hours – Put the discs in an hermetic container and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours. See part above for why refrigerating is important and the way onerous I attempted to keep away from it!
Chill time variations):
– 1 hour is the naked minimal (personally I’d make Browned Butter Choc Oatmeal Cookies as an alternative)
– 8 hours is my minimal
– 12 – 24 hours is perfect, as much as 48 hours
– Past 48 hours: diminishing returns plus dough begins to dry out, higher to freeze after 12 hours.
-
Bake 17 minutes – Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F (170°C fan-forced)*. As soon as the oven is sizzling, place the fridge chilly cookies on a paper lined tray 7.5 cm / 3″ aside (to permit for unfold).
Bake for 17 minutes, checking first at 16 minutes**, till the surface edges are golden and the floor is pale golden however has a skinny baked pores and skin on it (ie not simply shiny melty uncooked dough). They’ll look underdone (you’ll spy moist batter by cracks) which is what you need to permit for carry over cooking as they settle down, by which era they’re good – tender baked inside, extremely crispy outsides!
* Not, it’s not a typo! It’s 170°C fan or 180°C typical oven, solely 10°C distinction moderately than the same old 20°C. 190°C typical browns an excessive amount of on the perimeters.
** The cookies might bake quicker for any variety of causes – like in case your oven runs sizzling or is preheated for a very long time, or if you happen to use flimsy trays. So examine first at 16 minutes. Mine take 17 minutes.⚠️ Bake one tray at a time in common measurement ovens (60cm / 24″) to permit loads of air circulation for even baking of the cookies. If in case you have a big 90cm / 35″ oven, you possibly can bake 2 trays at a time.
-
Beautify – Working rapidly, press further chocolate chips on the floor. I prefer to press them in barely, some straight, some wonky. However even if you happen to simply place them on prime, the warmth will soften the chocolate so that they bond.
💡TIP: Whereas nonetheless sizzling, you may as well use a spatular to reshape wonky ones into neat circles.
-
Cool the cookies on the tray for 20 minutes. Throughout this time, the within may also end cooking, the floor turns into extra golden, and the surface and base turns into tremendous crispy.
ATTACK! The 20 minutes mark straight out of the oven is the prime second of perfection to devour these cookies, when the within continues to be heat and the chocolate is molten and gooey, however the exterior has set sufficient so it’s gorgeously crispy. Seize one proper now!!!
Phew! In order that’s it. The Chocolate Chip Cookies of my goals. 3 months and 43 variations later. That’s:
Make these as soon as, and I wager they are going to invade your goals each evening too! – Nagi x
FAQ – The Chocolate Chip Cookies of my goals
The shelf life is unbelievable!! And the in a single day refrigeration is likely one of the causes – I particularly examined this and was amazed on the distinction. These cookies are:
-
100% prime cookie perfection 20 minutes out of the oven (nonetheless heat, melty chocolate, extremely crispy edges);
-
98% pretty much as good for two hour after;
-
97% pretty much as good for the following 24 hours;
-
Day 2 – 96% pretty much as good (most cookies are 80 – 85%). Particularly so impressed with how properly the crisp edges and chewiness maintain up!
-
Day 3 – 92% pretty much as good, nonetheless firm worthy in my books (common cookies begin to present indicators of staleness at this level)
-
Days 4 to five – nonetheless extremely good and pleasurable! They can be revived with a 5 minute bake.
Don’t you hate it while you see a cookie recipe and get all excited, solely to seek out on the market’s a 12 hour chilling time?? Sooo annoying, particularly while you need cookies NOW!
Why we chill dough – It improves flavour, texture, color and impacts the form of a cookie if a recipe, like this one, is created the place chilling is a mandatory step. The flour absorbs liquid which companies up the dough and makes cookies bake thicker.
If I made this cookie so it didn’t want chilling, I’d have used a decrease hydration and the cookie wouldn’t style the identical or have the identical texture inside – or exterior, for that matter. Definitely much less buttery, much less wealthy and fewer scrumptious!!
I haven’t tried with gluten free flour but however I think they won’t work with out additional testing and alterations to the recipe.
As a result of the ball are huge and solidify into rocks when refrigerated and so they saved popping out of the oven with a hump within the center. I attempted reducing the temp to provide them spreading time (lacked crispiness and color), de-chilling to melt (variable too nice – distinction between just-soft and fairly tender had an enormous affect on baked form and proper oven temp).
As a result of if you happen to chill the dough within the bowl, it solidifies into an un-scoopable mass. So it is advisable go away it out to melt till scoop-able, roll the balls, form into discs, then chill it once more till they agency up else they are going to unfold an excessive amount of within the fridge.
It’s simply simpler to form earlier than chilling!
The recipe requires a selected baking temperature of 180°C/350°F (170°C fan-forced). Often, the distinction between fan and traditional ovens is 20°C, so 170°C fan could be 190°C/375°F. (I bake utilizing a fan-forced oven, widespread right here in Australia). Nonetheless, I discovered this was too sizzling for these cookies, they browned an excessive amount of on the surface.
No! Not for this recipe! 🙂 Sugar performs an essential half in baking science and the success / failure of baked items. Particularly for this recipe, I fiddled with the sugar quantity and proportions of white v brown sugar v darkish brown sugar over 20 occasions earlier than touchdown on the ultimate portions!
The recipe requires 1 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup white sugar which is rather a lot for 8 cookies (I advised you, these aren’t for the faint hearted!!). I attempted so many iterations with much less sugar as a result of my pure palette errs in the direction of the less-sweet finish for baked items and I do discover the Butter Boy Cookies overly candy.
However the finish outcome wasn’t pretty much as good – much less crisp, didn’t unfold correctly, baking into unflattering “UFO” shapes and so forth.
In reality, the higher a part of 20 variations of this recipe used 3/4 of the sugar within the ultimate recipe, however I simply couldn’t obtain the end result I used to be after. Dialled it again up…and bam! Solved.
In case you cut back the sugar the cookie received’t be as crispy, as golden, and bakes thicker with a hump within the center. If this doesn’t hassle you, be at liberty to provide it a go!
I’ve not tried with sweeteners so I do not know how they are going to affect this cookie.
Err…sure. I do know. I’m somewhat mad. In reality, I consider the press have known as it “obsessive testing”. I’m alright to personal it. Who needs to be regular? 😂
To be sincere although, I landed on the a recipe I used to be very pleased with most likely at round model 7, and it was wonderful, fairly just like the ultimate model although somewhat extra rustic trying.
However it known as for an in a single day fridge chill, and I used to be cocky sufficient again then to assume that I may crack the code to make a model 98% pretty much as good with out an in a single day fridge chill.
48 variations later, I can say I used to be improper. 😅
I bought to about 90%, however it doesn’t matter what I did, it doesn’t matter what methods I pulled out, and regardless that the cookie – by common chocolate chip cookie recipe requirements – was nonetheless wonderful, it was inferior to the in a single day chilled cookie.
As I define within the put up, in a single day chilling does issues to the dough that you would be able to’t cheat or replicate with shortcuts, very similar to nice sourdoughs and pizzas are left to show for days to develop further flavour. The cookie develops higher flavour, it’s chewier (that is actually noticeable), the crust bakes up thicker and stronger and and longer lasting (days!), the floor color of the cookie is a fantastic wealthy golden brown color that you’ll by no means obtain for a cookie of this measurement with out hours of resting time.
Essentially the most exceptional discovery although was what it does to shelf life. The cookie continues to be wonderful at 5 days – texture sensible, flavour sensible and freshness. The cookies I baked with out 12 hour fridge chilling didn’t come shut.
One other factor that had me tearing my hair out was making an attempt to make use of much less sugar. These cookies are wealthy and candy, and I actually wished to dial again the sweetness a bit as a result of I don’t normally use this a lot sugar in cookies!
However, after fairly a number of makes an attempt, seems it wasn’t doable to do with out compromising the top outcome – see the “sugar” FAQ for extra chatter about this.
This recipe may be made with cup and spoon measures no matter nation you’re in apart from Japan, please use the weights supplied (Japanese cups are a lot smaller).
Do you know – Cup sizes differ barely between the US (1 cup = 236ml / 8 oz) and the remainder of the world (250 ml). Whereas the distinction will not be sufficient to make a distinction in most recipes, for some baking recipes it might imply the distinction between success and failure. Particularly for cookies recipes. Ever had an epic fail utilizing a cookie recipe from an creator abroad?
You don’t want to fret about that for this recipe. I’ve made it utilizing US cups (236ml / 8 oz), Australia/remainder of world cups (250 ml) and the weights supplied and there was no distinction ultimately outcome. So you may make this recipe as is, with none alterations.

ABBREVIATED RECIPE:
-
Brown butter, cool, hand combine in sugar, then egg + vanilla. Combine in whisked Dry, including choc in the direction of finish. Type 8 x 155g (1/2 cup) discs 3.75cm/1.5″ thick. Fridge 12 -24 hrs. Bake from fridge chilly 4 at a time, 180°C/350°F (170°C fan) 17 min, prime with extra choc whereas sizzling if desired. Cool 20 min on tray, assault!
Browned butter:
-
Simmer to brown – Put the butter in a silver saucepan or small pan over medium excessive warmth. As soon as melted, let it simmer (as in, effervescent) for 4 to five minutes, stirring from time to time, till it will get actual foamy, you see little golden specks (wade by foam to see) and it smells nutty & further buttery.
-
Cool – Instantly pour right into a heatproof bowl, together with all these golden specks. Cool to room temperature (~45 minutes), cool sufficient so it will not soften the choc chips (Observe 4)
Dough:
-
Whisk Dry elements in a separate bowl.
-
Combine Moist – To the browned butter, add each sugars and blend with a picket spoon. Add the egg, yolk and vanilla. Combine till easy – it would look caramel.
-
End dough – Add the Dry elements and blend till the flour is generally included. Add the choc chips and stir till the flour is absolutely included.
-
Make dough discs – Measure out 8 x 155g (5.3 oz/ 1/2 cup) parts of dough, roll right into a ball then form right into a 3.75cm/1.5″ thick spherical disc. Place in a really hermetic container. (Observe 5 for smaller cookies)

-
Seize now – peak consuming second! Or, switch to a rack to chill absolutely earlier than storing in an hermetic container.
Recipe Notes:
US readers – not relevant to you, simply use 2 sticks!
2. Measuring flour (essential!) – Scales greatest (and environment friendly). If utilizing cups, spoon flour into cups then degree floor. Don’t dunk cup measure into flour tub or bag (flour settles = 2 cups will probably be greater than 300g = your cookies will puff extra). *I’m not normally this pedantic, solely when a recipe is extra delicate than ordinary*
2. Baking soda (bi-carb) – don’t substitute with extra baking powder if you happen to don’t have baking soda, it would make the cookies puff up into rock-cake type. You want baking soda!
3. Choc chips – Milk choc chips are significantly sweeter so I like a mixture of darkish and milk so it’s not overwhelmingly candy. Be at liberty to make use of kind of of both (I realise 400g is a neat 2 x commonplace Australian 200g packs!) or minimize your personal chocolate, for bigger melty swimming pools of chocolate (I want the littering of smaller chips all all through, plus it’s extra handy – and I plan to make these cookies rather a lot, perpetually!)
4. Cooled browned butter – Cool sufficient so it received’t soften the sugar or soften the choc chips, however not so chilly the perimeters solidify (if it does, re-melt and funky once more).
5. Smaller cookies – This recipe works nice for smaller cookies too however roll them into balls as an alternative of forming fats discs. Listed below are the bake occasions:
- 1 tbsp (#20 cookie scoop) – 12 to 13 minutes
- 2 tbsp (#40 cookie scoop) – 13 to 14 minutes
- 3 tbsp (~60g/2oz/#20 cookie scoop) – 14 minutes
6. Fridge chilling = flour hydration so dough doesn’t soften into a skinny cookie, and flavour improvement = tastier, extra golden, chewier and crispier edges/base, and nicer form (ie much less spreading). See put up for description of what you lose with shorter chill occasions.
- 12 – 24 hrs – Advisable, for greatest outcomes, precisely as you see in put up, my good cookie.
- 24 – 48 hours – Additionally wonderful, cookie is a tiny bit thicker and spreads barely much less, crispiness is barely higher.
- 3 – 5 days – Diminishing returns and danger of ball drying out. Higher to freeze at 24 hours, than thaw on demand.
- 5 hours – My minimal. If I can’t do that, I make Oatmeal Browned Butter Cookies (no chill time, oats offers these immediate chew whereas these want chill time).
Cookie emergencies (it occurs):
- No chilli time – Doesn’t work, cookie spreads means an excessive amount of
- 1 hour minimal chill time – enhance cornflour by 2 teaspoons. Cookie has much less chew, much less crispy, much less golden color, and faint skinny crackly floor (solely I discover, apparently) in comparison with 12hr fridge. Nonetheless an above common “want it now!” chocolate chip cookie, no person who bought these complained!
- Emergency choc chip cookies, common measurement, simpler, no chill time right here.
7. Oven temp is barely 10°C totally different right here for fan v typical. See FAQ.
8. Bake one tray at a time for traditional Australian ovens (60cm) although you probably have a big one (90cm) you possibly can bake 2 trays on the similar time.
9. Beautify choc chips – evenly press in to the floor or simply relaxation on floor (chocolate will soften and cling).
Storage – distinctive shelf life. Wonderful for two days, nonetheless close to wonderful on day 3, nonetheless nice days 4 and 5. Retailer in an hermetic container within the pantry.
Freezing – Raw dough discs may be frozen after the 12 hour fridge time. Bake from frozen per recipe (cookies are a bit thicker) however I want to thaw in a single day within the fridge than bake per recipe (they arrive out precisely as pictured). See FAQ for extra particulars and ideas.
Diet – Let’s simply say it’s greater than water, lower than a Huge Mac Meal (I hope!😂). Will replace shortly.
Troubleshooting ideas
Right here’s what could cause this:
-
Your dough discs weren’t the desired 3.75cm / 1.5″ thick!
-
Skinny flimsy baking tray = warmth retention not good = cookies unfold extra earlier than the perimeters set so that they find yourself thinner.
-
Mis-measured an ingredient. 😭 Not sufficient flour or an excessive amount of sugar, or your eggs had been jumbo (you didn’t use ostrich eggs did you?? 😮).
-
Your oven runs chilly = cookies have longer to soften and unfold earlier than the perimeters set = thinner cookie
I wager they had been nonetheless YUM although!
Right here’s what could cause this:
-
Your dough discs had been a lot thicker than the desired 3.75cm / 1.5″ thick!
-
You forgot to flatten into discs and made them balls or domes as an alternative. These bake with extra of a “hump” within the center.
-
You mis-measured and used an excessive amount of flour or cornflour, or forgot to pack the cup tightly when measuring the brown sugar so that you didn’t use sufficient.
I wager these had been nonetheless nice although! And truthfully, some individuals goal for further thick cookies with a giant gooey centre!
