Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these cookies without using butter?
Yes, you can use a butter substitute like coconut oil or margarine. However, keep in mind that the texture may vary slightly. If you're looking for a dairy-free option, be sure to choose chocolate chips that are also dairy-free.
How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
The cookies are done when the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear slightly underbaked. They will continue to set as they cool on the baking sheet, so it’s better to err on the side of slightly underbaking them for a chewy texture.
Can I add other ingredients like nuts or dried fruit?
Absolutely! Feel free to add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for added crunch, or toss in some dried fruit for a unique flavor. Just be mindful that adding too many extra ingredients may affect the cookie's texture and baking time.
