Recipes FAQ

Can I use salted butter?

You can, but the cookies may turn out slightly saltier than intended. If you do use salted butter, you can omit the 1/4 tsp of salt in the recipe.

Can I use a different type of chocolate?

Absolutely! You can use any type of chocolate chips or chopped chocolate that you like. Milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate would all work well in this recipe.

Can I make these cookies gluten-free?

Yes, you can substitute a gluten-free flour blend for the all-purpose flour in this recipe. Just make sure the blend includes xanthan gum, or add 1/4 tsp of xanthan gum to the recipe to help bind the dough together.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure your butter is at room temperature before you start mixing the dough. This will help it cream together with the sugar more easily.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Mix until just combined to avoid tough, dry cookies.
  • Use a cookie scoop to ensure evenly sized cookies that will bake evenly.
  • Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. This will help them set up and prevent them from breaking apart.
  • Try adding different mix-ins to the dough, such as chopped nuts, toffee bits, or dried fruit.
