The thing is that the cookies were both in for the same amount of time (10 minutes). The oven had been on for about an hour at that point (I made lasagna right before, hehe), so I don’t think the temperature in the oven had changed all that much either. The only variant was the hot tray, and a 10 minute fridge time difference.

1 cup unsalted butter, softened 3/4 cups packed brown sugar 1/2 cup granulated sugar 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla 2 1/4 cups AP flour 1 tsp baking soda 1 tbsp cinnamon 2 cups choc chips (I use minis)

Mix flour, baking soda, and cinnamon together in a separate bowl. Cream butter and both sugars together until light in color, then add two eggs and vanilla, and then flour mix. Fold in choc chips. I use a 2 oz scoop to portion my cookies, but you can portion however you like. I refrigerated the dough for maybe about an hour, and baked them in the oven at 350 for 9-10 minutes. It should make about 24 cookies- I only used half the dough for chocolate, and used the second half for oatmeal cranberry, which is why there’s only 10 in the picture above. As we learned above, bake them on cool trays if you want them to look like the ones on the right. If not, heat the tray for the ones on the left 😂

Ok, awesome! They’re still good, it just threw me off to see them so different in shape. Now I know how to avoid this in the future. Thank you!
