- Use a ⅛ cup scoop and make 24 balls of dough in rounded heaps. Place 6 balls of dough on a sheet so they have plenty of room in between. Don't crowd.

- You can use regular salted butter, but reduce the recipe salt to ¼ teaspoon instead of the ½ tsp.
- Try replacing the Light Brown Sugar for Dark Brown sugar, and browning the butter for Brown Butter Chocolate Chip cookies.
