Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Why do my cookies spread too much?
A: This usually happens if the baking sheet is too warm when you put the dough on it, or if your oven temperature is running low. Make sure your pans are cool to the touch for each batch.
Q: Can I freeze the cookie dough?
A: Absolutely! Scoop the dough into balls and freeze them on a baking sheet. Once solid, transfer to a freezer bag. You can bake them straight from the freezer, adding 1-2 minutes to the baking time.
Q: My cookies are cakey. What went wrong?
A: This is almost always due to using too much flour. Next time, try fluffing your flour before spooning it into the measuring cup. Also, ensure your baking soda is fresh.
Q: Can I make these without an egg?
A: For a vegan version, you can try using a “flax egg” (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water, let sit for 5 mins). The texture will be slightly different but still delicious.
