FAQs

Yes! You can freeze the cookie dough for up to 3 months. Just scoop the dough onto a baking sheet, freeze until solid, and then transfer to a zip-top bag.

2. How do I know when the cookies are done?
The cookies are done when the edges are golden brown. The centers may look slightly underbaked; they will continue to cook as they cool.

3. Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can use whole wheat flour, but the texture may be a little denser. You might want to try a mix of both for better results!
