- Use good cocoa powder for stronger chocolate taste.
- Chill dough 15–30 minutes if it spreads too much while baking.
variation (if any)
- Add chopped nuts for crunch.
- Use white or dark chocolate chips instead of regular.
- Stir in a teaspoon of instant espresso for deeper chocolate flavor.
- Make mini cookies by using a smaller scoop and reduce bake time by 1–2 minutes.
FAQs
Q: Can I use margarine instead of butter?
A: Butter gives the best taste. Margarine can work but the texture and flavor may change.
Q: Can I make them gluten-free?
A: Yes. Replace the flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour mix. You may need small adjustments in texture.
Q: How do I keep them soft?
A: Do not overbake. Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep moisture.
Q: Can I freeze the dough?
A: Yes. Scoop dough onto a tray, freeze, then move to a bag. Bake from frozen, adding a minute or two to baking time.
