  • Swap out the white chocolate chips and try different types of chocolate chips, such as dark or milk chocolate, for a different taste.
  • Make these bite-sized, make smaller bite-sized cookies by using a smaller scoop, perfect for parties or gatherings.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
