But Wait! Just a few pointers before you start! π
- You must follow the directions to a ‘T’. I read the comments on Williams Sonoma Taste and some of the issues were flat cookies and too many chocolate chips, so I did decrease the chocolate chips 1/4 cup for this recipe, which are still chocked full of chocolate chips. Ghirardelli Chocolate Chips. π
- And, secondly to avoid ugly, flat cookies, be sure your butter is room temperature (not melted or even softened), and use a cooler dough vs. warm dough. Just pop it in the refrigerator a bit before baking if it feels warm.
- Chocolate Chip Tips: If you’re in chocoholic mode, go the full 2 1/4 cups of chocolate chips as the recipe calls out. If you want to tone down the chocolate chips, just use a lesser amount to your liking. 1 1/2 cups is good for those that want chocolate flavor, but not chocolate overload. π

Hi,
Can the recipe be easily doubled or tripled?
Hi Amanda! I think you could. I would make the cookie dough doesn’t get too warm setting out, or the cookies won’t set up. Hope you love them! π Thanks for stopping by.
