FAQs
How do I get my cookies to stay thick and soft?
Chilling the dough is key. It prevents the cookies from spreading too much so they bake thick and chewy.
Can I use different types of chocolate chips?
Absolutely! Mix and match with dark, bittersweet, milk, or white chocolate to find your perfect combination.
What’s the best way to measure flour?
Spoon flour into your measuring cup and level it off rather than scooping, so you avoid packing it down and drying out the dough.
