- Scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared sheets, placing 6 dough balls on each sheet.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes until the edges are set. Note that the cookies won’t have a golden color due to the blue dye.

Notes
The blue color is achieved using gel food dye, ensuring a fun and festive look for the cookies.
Letting the dough rest is key to achieving the desired texture and minimizing spreading while baking.
Feel free to adjust the mix-ins based on your personal preference, such as adding nuts or different types of chocolate.
