FAQS

  1. Can I use regular salt instead of Maldon salt?

    While you can use regular salt, Maldon salt provides a unique texture and flavor that elevates the cookies.

  2. Can I freeze the cookie dough?

    Yes, you can freeze the dough for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before baking.

  3. What type of chocolate chips work best?

    Semi-sweet chocolate chips are recommended, but you can use milk or dark chocolate chips based on your preference.
