How do I know when the mixture is boiling?
You'll know the mixture has reached boiling when it starts to bubble vigorously and produce steam. Keep an eye on it as it cooks for the full minute to ensure it doesn't scorch and to achieve the right consistency.
Can I add other ingredients to the cookie mixture?
Absolutely! Feel free to mix in ingredients like shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or mini chocolate chips for added texture and flavor. Just be mindful not to overload the mixture, as this may affect the cookies' ability to set properly.
