   I used a mix of the mini chocolate chips and sprinkles (Walmart had these fun Santa Hat Sprinkle Mix!). I cut back the salt to 1/2 tsp (based on conversation below). Very good recipe, I’ll be using it for more cookies.

3. When freezing dough do you need to thaw before baking or bake right from the freezer?

   1. You would need to thaw unless you want your cookies to steam.

   2. The might need a couple extra minutes if you bake them, without thawing 🙂

4. The baking time was not long enough, I know baking times differ, an electric oven usually bakes hotter than the gas stove. I usually bake my cookies on the low end. I think I tried 8 min, were not done, tried 9 min, not done, now I am trying 10 min. Hope this one is a charm.

9. PlEase check your RECIPE !!
   It said one teaspoon of salt. My son was making cookies for a gift eXchange. I told him that was to much salt. He insisted to use that much BECAUSE he wanted to follow the recipe. They now taste like something i would feed the cows for a treat. It is 10:16 pm and i am having to clean Up and start a new recipe. I got my books out and sugar cookies 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of salt depending on how many cookies it is making. Please try your recipes before you post them and have someone proof read them.

   1. I am sorry you feel that way. I do check every recipe. I would never share anything that I thought was too gross or that I wouldn’t eat. Most recipes I have seen call for anywhere between 1/2-1 1/4 teaspoon of salt. It is very normal. Maybe he accidentally used a tablespoon?

      1. Kristyn I adjusted the salt amount because I assumed it was a misprint. We all make mistakes. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

      2. How much salt did you use?

      3. I used 1/2 teaspoon because several recipes with similar ingredients called for 1/2 teaspoon. The cookies came out great.
