Tips & Substitutions
For a chewier cookie, try chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking. You can substitute half of the butter with applesauce for a lighter version. If you don't have Bit-o-Brittal, crushed toffee candy or even nuts can add a similar crunch. These cookies can also be made with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of chocolate chips?
Absolutely! You can use dark, milk, or even white chocolate chips depending on your preference. Mixing different types of chocolate can also create a more complex flavor profile in your cookies.
What can I do if my cookies come out too flat?
If your cookies spread too much, ensure you're using the right measurements and chilling the dough before baking. Also, check that your baking soda is fresh and not expired, as this can affect the rise.
Can I freeze the cookie dough?
Yes, you can freeze the cookie dough! Scoop the dough into balls and place them on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a zip-top bag. When you're ready to bake, you can bake them straight from the freezer, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.
