Faq

  • How can I tell if the dough is ready?

    The dough is ready when it no longer sticks to your hands. This should be achieved after you knead the dough with the added flour.

  • Can I use a different type of flour?

    Yes, you can. However, the texture and taste might slightly vary. Whole wheat flour gives a denser texture compared to all-purpose flour.

  • Why is my dough too sticky?

    This could be due to not adding enough flour or over-blending the wet ingredients. Add a small amount of flour gradually until you reach the desired consistency.

  • How do I store these cookies?

    Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months.

  • Can I add other ingredients?

    Absolutely! Chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruits make great additions. Ensure any add-ins are evenly distributed in the dough.

  • What’s the best way to prevent the cookies from spreading too much?

    Chill the dough for about 15-20 minutes before baking. This helps the cookies maintain their shape.
