How do I know when the cookies are done baking?

The cookies are done baking when they are golden brown around the edges and look slightly underdone in the center. They will continue to cook while cooling on the baking sheet.

Can I freeze the cookie dough?

Absolutely! You can freeze the cookie dough for up to three months. Just scoop the dough onto a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then store in an airtight container or freezer bag.

What should I do if my cookies spread too much?

If your cookies spread too much, make sure your butter is not too soft. Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking can also help prevent excessive spreading.

Can I substitute chocolate chips with another type of chip?

Yes! You can easily substitute chocolate chips with white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, butterscotch chips, or even raisins for a different twist on flavor.

Is it necessary to use room temperature eggs?

Using room temperature eggs helps them blend more easily into the batter, resulting in a smoother cookie dough and ultimately, a more tender cookie.
