Tips to Make Chocolate Chip Cookies

• Make sure your butter is softened for easier mixing.
• For chewier cookies, underbake them slightly.
• You can experiment by adding nuts or replacing some chocolate chips with white chocolate or butterscotch chips.

Variation

Try adding 1/2 cup of crushed nuts or dried fruits for extra flavor and texture. You can also swap out half of the chocolate chips for peanut butter chips.

FAQs

1. What can I use if I don’t have brown sugar?
You can substitute brown sugar with white sugar, but the cookies will be less chewy. If you have molasses, mix 1 cup of white sugar with 1 tablespoon of molasses to make brown sugar.

2. Can I use margarine instead of butter?
Yes, you can use margarine, but the texture of the cookies may be slightly different.

3. How do I know when my cookies are done?
The cookies are done when the edges start to turn golden brown. They may look soft in the center but will firm up as they cool.
