Tips:

  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much and keeps them thick and chewy. You should chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Use high-quality chocolate chips: The chocolate chips are the star of the show in these cookies, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Look for chocolate chips that are made with real chocolate and have a high cocoa content.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly golden brown around the edges and the tops should be set. If you overbake the cookies, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: The cookies will continue to set as they cool. Let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Conclusion:

Pioneer picnic cookies are a classic American cookie recipe that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and always a hit with kids and adults alike. With their chewy texture, rich chocolate flavor, and festive sprinkles, these cookies are sure to be a hit at your next picnic or party.
