F.A.Q.S.
1. How long do these cookies last?
When stored in an airtight container at room temperature, these cookies can last up to a week. However, we doubt they'll last that long—they're just too delicious!
2. Can I substitute the chocolate chips with white chocolate?
Absolutely! Feel free to get creative and use white chocolate chips or chunks instead. It will give your cookies a whole new flavor profile.
3. Can I use margarine instead of butter?
While margarine can be a substitute for butter in some recipes, we recommend using unsalted butter for these cookies. The buttery flavor adds a richness that you won't want to miss.
4. Can I freeze the cookie dough?
Yes, you can freeze the cookie dough for up to 3 months. Simply shape the dough into individual cookie balls, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer the dough balls to a freezer-safe bag or container. When you're ready to bake, simply pop them onto a baking sheet and follow the instructions, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
