Notes
Variations
Add Lemon:
Lemon juice or lemon zest are a great addition to this recipe in place of the chips.
Dry:
Make sure that the bowls and beaters are completely dry! Moisture will ruin these cookies.
Tip:
Crack each egg in a separate small bowl so that you can remove shells easier or in cse the yolk breaks.
Alternate Tool:
Instead of a hand mixer, use a stand mixer. It makes the job so much easier.
