Ingredients

- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet.
- Bake for about 10 to 15 minutes until done.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter and adding a pinch of salt. If you're out of self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. For a twist, add chocolate chips or nuts to the dough. These cookies can also be made vegan by substituting the egg with a flaxseed egg and using plant-based butter.
Serving Suggestions
These cookies are delightful served warm with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For an extra treat, drizzle them with chocolate or serve alongside Rich And Chocolate Brownies for a dessert platter. They also make a great gift when packaged in a decorative box or tin for friends and family.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep them fresh longer, you can freeze the cookies in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for a few seconds or warm them in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about five minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can use all-purpose flour by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt to each cup of flour to mimic the effects of self-rising flour. This will help the cookies rise properly and achieve the desired texture.
How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
The cookies are done when the edges start to turn golden brown and the center looks set but slightly soft. They will continue to cook on the baking sheet even after being removed from the oven, so avoid overbaking to keep them chewy.
Can I add mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts?
Absolutely! Adding chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit can enhance the flavor and texture of the cookies. Just fold in about a cup of your chosen mix-ins after combining the other ingredients for a delicious variation.
