Variations:
- Top with a chocolate kiss when it comes out of the oven.
- Add M&M’s to the dough.
- Once all the cookies are done, melt a small amount of peanut butter chips (1/4 cup) with a little (1/2 tsp?) canola oil (oil thins the chocolate, making it easier to spread). Smear a little melted chocolate on one side, top with sprinkles.
