Tips & Substitutions
For a softer cookie, reduce the baking time slightly and keep an eye on it as it bakes. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. Consider using dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor, or substitute walnuts for pecans if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of flour?
Yes, you can use all-purpose flour instead of self-rising flour. Just add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt to mimic the self-rising effect. This ensures your cookies still rise well and maintain a good texture.
Can I make this cookie gluten-free?
Absolutely! Substitute the self-rising flour with a gluten-free flour blend that includes xanthan gum. Make sure to check that the chocolate chips and any additional ingredients are also gluten-free, especially if you have dietary restrictions.
What can I add to customize these cookies?
You can enhance these cookies with various add-ins such as shredded coconut, dried fruits, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for a sweet and salty flavor. Customize them to suit your taste!
