FAQs
1. Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted?
Yes, you can use salted butter, but you may want to reduce the added salt in the recipe to avoid making them too salty.
2. What should I do if my dough is too soft?
If your dough is too soft, chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before baking. This will help firm it up for easier handling.
3. Can I make the cookie dough in advance?
Absolutely! You can prepare the cookie dough in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze it for up to 2 months. Just scoop and bake when you’re ready for fresh cookies! ❄️🍪
