how to store S’mores Cookies

tips to make S’mores Cookies

• Make sure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
• For a more intense chocolate flavor, try using a mix of chocolate chips and chocolate chunks.
• Don’t skip refrigerating the cookie dough; it helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much while baking.

variation

For a fun twist, try adding peanut butter chips or swapping out the chocolate for white chocolate. You could also add crushed nuts or toffee bits for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
