FAQs
Can I use brown sugar only for these cookies?
Yes, you can! Using all brown sugar will give your cookies a deeper flavor and extra chewiness.
How thick should the cookies be before baking?
Aim for cookies that are about 3 tablespoons in size. The thickness will help them maintain that chewy center once baked.
What to do if my cookies spread too much?
If they spread too much, that might mean the dough wasn’t chilled long enough. Next time, give it an extended chill time and make sure your butter isn’t too hot when mixing.
Now go ahead, bake those cookies, and enjoy every crispy, gooey bite! 🍫
