How to serve Marry Me Cookies

Tips to make Marry Me Cookies
- Chill the dough for at least an hour to help the cookies hold their shape while baking.
- Adjust the type of chocolate chips based on your preference—milk chocolate or dark chocolate work well too.
- Experiment with different nuts or even add dried fruit for a twist.
- Don’t skip the cinnamon; it adds a lovely flavor to the cookies.
- Ensure your butter is melted, but not hot, when mixing with sugar to prevent the eggs from cooking.
Variation
For a different flavor, try adding peanut butter chips instead of some chocolate chips. You can also swap out the nuts for shredded coconut for a tropical taste.
