FAQ:
1. Can I use margarine instead of butter? While butter provides the best flavor and texture, margarine can be used as a substitute in this recipe. However, the texture may be slightly different, and the cookies may spread more during baking.
2. Can I freeze the cookie dough before baking? Yes! You can scoop the cookie dough onto a baking sheet, freeze the dough balls, and then transfer them to a zip-top bag. When you're ready to bake, just place the frozen dough on a baking sheet and add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.
3. Why did my cookies spread too much? If your cookies spread too much, it could be due to the dough being too warm when placed on the baking sheet. Make sure your dough is chilled for at least 30 minutes before baking, and check that your oven temperature is accurate.
4. Can I use other types of chocolate? Absolutely! You can substitute milk chocolate, white chocolate, or even a combination of different chocolates to suit your preferences. Just ensure that the total amount of chocolate remains the same.
