FAQs:
- Can I use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet?
Absolutely! Dark chocolate chips will add a richer, less sweet flavor to the cookies. - How do I store these cookies?
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. - Can I freeze the cookie dough?
Yes, freeze the cookie dough in scoops on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen, adding an extra minute or two. - Why are my cookies spreading too much?
If your cookies are spreading too much, try chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading. - Can I add nuts or other mix-ins?
Definitely! Feel free to add chopped nuts, dried fruit, or even white chocolate chips for a fun twist.
