FAQs
How do I make the cookies chewier?
Use more brown sugar than white sugar to increase moisture and chewiness.
Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted?
Yes, but reduce the added salt in the recipe by half.
Can I freeze the dough?
Absolutely! Roll the dough into balls, freeze on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake directly from frozen, adding 2โ3 minutes to the bake time.
Whatโs the best way to ensure soft cookies?
Avoid overbaking; the cookies should look slightly underdone in the center when removed from the oven.
Can I make smaller cookies?
Yes, adjust the size and reduce baking time to 8โ10 minutes.
Can I use gluten-free flour?
Yes, substitute with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour for similar results.
Can I substitute eggs?
Try using a flax egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons water) for each egg.
Can I add mix-ins like nuts?
Certainly! Fold in your favorite mix-ins, such as chopped nuts or toffee bits.
Why do my cookies spread too much?
Ensure your butter isnโt overly softened, and chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
Can I double the recipe?
Yes, simply double all the ingredients and bake in batches as needed.
