Notes

Feel free to add mix ins to your cookie recipe! Add chocolate chips, sprinkles, nuts, M&Ms, Reese's Pieces, and more - about 1 cup is generally good. You can also stir in a teaspoon of vanilla or almond extract for added flavor. Add frosting, or sandwich two togethers together with frosting in between them. 
This recipes makes a slightly flatter cookie, which is perfect for frosting or sandwiching. If you'd like your cookie a bit puffier, like a classic chocolate chip cookie, only use 6 tablespoons of butter. 
Vegetable oil can be used in place of the butter if desired, but I find that butter gives the cookies a better flavor.
