Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Can I use margarine instead of butter?
While margarine can be used, it may affect the texture of the cookies slightly. Butter provides a richer flavor and better texture, so it’s best to stick with unsalted butter if you can.
2. Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes! You can chill the dough in the refrigerator for up to 72 hours before baking. This will enhance the flavor and help the cookies maintain their shape better while baking.
3. How can I make my cookies extra chewy?
For a chewier texture, try underbaking the cookies slightly so they remain soft in the middle. Additionally, using brown sugar instead of white sugar adds moisture to the cookies, making them chewy.
4. Can I freeze cookie dough?
Absolutely! You can freeze the dough in tablespoon-sized balls. Just place the balls on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer them to a freezer bag or container. When you’re ready to bake, simply place them on a baking sheet and bake as usual, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.
These chocolate chip cookies are bound to be a hit wherever you bring them! Whether you're sharing them or indulging in a few too many, they're impossible to resist. Enjoy!
