Tips & Tricks

  1. For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them.

  2. If you want to add candies or nuts, incorporate them into the dough after mixing the dry and wet ingredients.

  3. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the cookie dough up to 6 months.

FAQS

  1. Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted butter?

    Yes, you can use salted butter. However, you may want to reduce the amount of salt added in the recipe to prevent the cookies from being too salty.

  2. Can I freeze the cookie dough?

    Yes, you can freeze the cookie dough. Scoop the dough into balls and freeze them on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

  3. What can I use if I don't have castor sugar?

    If you don't have castor sugar, you can use granulated sugar as a substitute. The texture might be slightly different, but the taste will remain similar.

  4. Can I make these cookies gluten-free?

    Yes, you can substitute the regular flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Make sure the blend contains xanthan gum for better texture.

  5. How do I prevent the cookies from spreading too thin?

    Ensure your butter is not too soft before creaming it with the sugar. Also, chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help prevent excessive spreading.
