For a twist, try mixing in some chopped nuts or dried fruit. Make sure to watch your cookies closely in the oven, as baking times may vary based on your oven's calibration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cookie dough for this recipe?
Yes, you can use any store-bought cookie dough you prefer, such as peanut butter or oatmeal raisin. Just keep in mind that baking times may vary slightly, so check for doneness as they bake.
How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
The cookies should be golden brown around the edges and slightly soft in the center. They will continue to firm up as they cool on the baking sheet, so it's best to take them out when they still look a bit underbaked.
Can I make these cookies ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the cookie dough in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week. Alternatively, you can slice and freeze the dough pieces, then bake them straight from the freezer, adding a minute or two to the baking time.
