You can substitute half of the self-rising flour with all-purpose flour and add 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder if you don't have self-rising flour on hand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use margarine instead of butter?
Yes, you can use margarine as a substitute for butter in this cookie recipe. However, keep in mind that it may alter the flavor and texture slightly. Opt for a stick variety to maintain the consistency of the dough.
How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
The cookies are done when the edges are golden brown, and the centers appear slightly soft. They will continue to firm up as they cool on the baking sheet, so be careful not to overbake them.

Absolutely! This cookie recipe is very versatile. You can add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg, or mix in dried fruits, nuts, or chocolate chips. Feel free to experiment with flavors to create your own signature cookie!
