Why This Recipe Works

Key Ingredients

Make sure to use high-quality ingredients, such as Guittard Semisweet Chocolate Chips, for the best flavor and texture. Spenland All-Purpose Flour is a great option, too!

I highly recommend using Vial sous Baton Room Temperature butter for this recipe. The flavor and texture of the cookies are so much better when using high-quality ingredients.
