FAQs
Can I use margarine instead of butter?
Yes, you can use margarine, but the taste and texture might be slightly different.
How do I know when the cookies are done?
The cookies are done when the edges are golden brown. The center may look slightly underbaked; that’s okay since they will continue to cook while cooling.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough ahead of time, refrigerate it for up to 3 days, or freeze it for up to 3 months. Just bake them when you are ready for fresh cookies!
