Trying to make a “just one batch” rule with this group is a mistake. The 19 baked cookies that make you regret splitting the dough are what happen when you stop caring about portion control and start prioritizing flavor. They’re easy to make, disappear faster than expected, and somehow taste even better when hoarded. Keep the pretty tin, but don’t expect any to actually make it inside.
