FAQs

1. Can I use margarine instead of butter in this recipe? It’s best to stick to unsalted butter for this recipe, as margarine can contain water and other additives that can affect the texture of your cookies.

2. Can I freeze chocolate chip cookie dough? Yes! Simply roll the dough into balls and freeze them on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer the balls to a freezer bag and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to bake, just let the dough balls thaw for 10-15 minutes before baking.
3. How do I know when my cookies are done baking? You’ll want to take the cookies out of the oven when the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but still slightly soft. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool on the baking sheet.
4. Can I substitute a different type of sugar in this recipe? You can try using coconut sugar or honey instead of white sugar or brown sugar, but keep in mind that this will affect the texture and flavor of your cookies.
5. How many cookies does this recipe make? This recipe makes about 36 cookies, depending on the size of your dough balls.
