Notes and Baking Tips

1. Neutral Cooking Oil: You can use any high heat oil, but we recommend Canola Oil, Vegetable Oil, or Avocado oil. If you are going to use Coconut Oil, melt it in the microwave and then let it cool for a couple of minutes.

I love it when somebody thinks outside the box. Is there any chance that you bag your chocolate chips separately in the cookie mix?
Thanks
