Notes
These are easy to overbake, they are done when the middles have just stopped looking wet, this is how you keep the soft centers.
If you want thin and crispy chocolate chip cookies, just let these bake another minute or two until the entire top is golden brown. I’ll admit, I do this on at least one sheet, these kind are perfect for dipping into your morning coffee.
Leave at least 3 inches between cookies, they spread.
