Notes
If you have gotten to this recipe via my YouTube video I have changed the mix method from a creaming recipe to a simple one bowl mix
I would like to recommend using a scale to weigh the ingredients specifically the flour as a heavy hand could result in a dry cookie
Using a #100 cookie scoop or a 1 Tablespoon Scoop for the mini cookies is really helpful, miniature cookies will yield about 40 cookies For 8 or 9 large bakery style cookies scoop with a 2 ounce cookie scoop (Larger cookies you will get about 12 and they will bake for closer to 15 minutes)
Bob's Red Mill is my egg replacer of choice but you can use any one you prefer in the same quantity as listed I do not reconstitute egg replacers but simply add them to the dry ingredients
Storage Cookie dough pre-scooped into balls can be frozen for up to 2 months stored in a ziploc bag then thaw on the sheet pan while the oven preheats & bake as usual
Baked cookies should be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week at room temperature
