Variations

For those with dietary restrictions or preferences, here are some gluten-free and vegan variations to try:

Gluten-Free Version: Replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend in a 1:1 ratio. Ensure your baking powder is also gluten-free. 🍃

Vegan Version: Use vegan butter and replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water, left to sit for 5 minutes). Use dairy-free chocolate or cocoa nibs. 🌱

Faq

  • Why are my cookies spreading too much?

    Make sure your butter isn't too soft and chill the dough before baking. It helps the cookies hold their shape.

  • Can I double the recipe?

    Absolutely! Just make sure to mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

  • How do I get chewy cookies instead of crispy ones?

    Use more brown sugar and slightly underbake the cookies. They'll continue to cook on the baking sheet after you take them out of the oven.

  • What's the best way to store these cookies?

    Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze them for up to three months.

  • Can I add nuts to the recipe?

    Yes, adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans can add a delightful crunch. Just fold them in with the chocolate.

  • How do I make my cookies extra thick?

    Chill the dough for a longer period (overnight) and reduce the amount of baking powder slightly. This will prevent them from spreading too much.
