- Working quickly, use a large cookie dough scoop or ice cream scoop to portion out the mixture onto the lined baking sheet.
- Let the cookies set until they’ve hardened and cooled, about 1-2 hours.
Notes
- To avoid scorching, melt the chocolate slowly in short intervals.
- If you want to make these for holidays or special occasions, use white chocolate chips in place of the semi-sweet chips, then immediately add colored sprinkles after scooping the cookies.
- Make sure the cookies are completely cooled and set before storing them.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 week at room temperature. If you need to stack the cookies, place a sheet of parchment paper between the layers.
- Freezer storage: flash freeze the cooled cookies for about an hour, then place in a freezer-safe container or bag, separating the layers with parchment paper, for up to 2 months. Allow cookies to thaw at room temperature before serving.
- This recipe makes about 24 cookies but the yield will vary based on the size of your cookies.
