Notes

Here are some helpful tips to make your Penn Station Cookies even more delicious:
 
  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before mixing. This helps create a smoother dough and better texture.
  • Don’t Overmix the Dough: Once you add the dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies.
  • Chill the Dough: For thicker cookies, chill the dough in the fridge for about 30 minutes before baking. This helps the cookies hold their shape while baking.
  • Bake in Batches: If you're making a large batch, bake them in separate batches to ensure even baking and avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
  • Experiment with Add-Ins: Feel free to get creative! Add-ins like nuts, dried fruit, or even different types of chocolate can give your cookies a unique twist.
