Notes

325 or 350 (Fahrenheit), that is the question! From our experience, 15 minutes at 325 Fahrenheit for a 3-inch scoop cookie led to a crisper exterior and a softer center. 12 minutes 350 Fahrenheit for a 3-inch scoop cookie, however, led to a chewier cookie throughout and more browning. With that being said, if we weren’t specifically paying attention, we could probably eat both cookies and not notice the temperature difference effects! Both have softness and plenty of chew.
