Tips & Substitutions
For an extra chewy texture, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. You can substitute half of the butter with unsweetened applesauce for a lighter version, or use a mix of semisweet and dark chocolate chips for added depth. If you prefer a nutty flavor, consider adding chopped walnuts or pecans to the dough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use all-purpose flour instead of other types?
Yes, all-purpose flour is ideal for this recipe. It's versatile and will give you the best texture for Mrs. Field's Chocolate Chip Cookies. Avoid using self-rising flour, as it contains baking powder and salt, which could alter the recipe's balance.
What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough feels too sticky, you can sprinkle in a bit more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a manageable consistency. You may also chill the dough for about 30 minutes to help it firm up before baking.
How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
Cookies are done when the edges are golden brown and the center looks slightly underbaked, as they will continue to cook on the baking sheet after being removed from the oven. Ovens may vary, so keep an eye on them during the last few minutes of baking.
