Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use gluten-free flour for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend. Ensure the blend contains xanthan gum for better texture. The cookies may have a slightly different taste and texture, but they should still be delicious.
What can I do if the cookie dough is too sticky?
If your dough is sticky, try chilling it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This will make it easier to handle. You can also add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
How can I make these cookies more visually appealing?
For a decorative touch, consider drizzling melted chocolate over the cooled cookies or adding a dusting of powdered sugar. You can also press some chocolate chips or nuts on top before baking for a more polished look.
