Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these cookies gluten-free?
Yes, you can make these cookies gluten-free by using a gluten-free cake mix. Just ensure that all other ingredients, especially the egg and any additional mix-ins, are also gluten-free to maintain the integrity of the recipe.
What should I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough is too sticky to work with, try chilling it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This can help firm it up and make it easier to roll out. If it’s still too sticky, you can add a small amount of flour to help with the consistency.
