Recipes FAQ

Can I freeze the dough?

Yes! This dough freezes well, so you can make a big batch and save some for later. Just scoop the dough onto a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer the frozen dough balls to a resealable plastic bag. When you're ready to bake, place the frozen dough balls on a lined baking sheet and bake for a few extra minutes.

Can I use a different type of nut?

Absolutely! You can use any type of chopped nut you like in this recipe. Walnuts, pecans, and almonds all work well.

Can I make these cookies smaller?

Of course! If you want smaller cookies, just use a smaller cookie scoop or roll the dough into smaller balls. Just be aware that the cook time may be shorter for smaller cookies.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure your butter is softened before you start mixing. Room temperature butter will mix more easily and give you a smoother dough.
  • Don't overmix the dough once you've added the dry ingredients. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies.
  • Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized cookies. This will ensure that they all cook at the same rate.
  • Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. This will help prevent them from falling apart.
