Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat individual slices in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
  • For a healthier option, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
  • Try adding nuts for extra crunch or caramel sauce for a decadent twist.
  • This cookie can be made dairy-free with suitable substitutes.
