Notas

  • Use Room Temperature Butter – Softened butter ensures a smooth and creamy dough, leading to perfectly chewy cookies.
  • Don’t Overmix the Dough – Overmixing can make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the Dough (Optional but Recommended) – If you want thicker cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutesbefore baking to prevent spreading.
  • Adjust the Green Food Coloring – Start with a few drops and add more if needed to achieve the perfect festive green hue.
  • Swap White Chocolate for Dark Chocolate – If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute white chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate chips.
  • Pistachios Add a Crunch – The chopped pistachios bring a nutty flavor and texture but can be omitted if you prefer nut-free cookies.
  • Keep an Eye on Baking Time – Since every oven is different, check the cookies at 10 minutes. They should be slightly golden at the edges but still soft in the center.
  • Cool Properly – Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to avoid breaking.
  • Make Them Extra Festive – Add more sprinkles on top before baking for an even more colorful St. Patrick’s Day look!
  • Store for Freshness – Keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
