FAQs

1. Can I use margarine instead of butter?
   Yes, you can use margarine, but it may slightly change the taste and texture.

2. Can I make the dough ahead of time?
   Absolutely! You can prepare the dough, cover it, and refrigerate it for up to 48 hours before baking.

3. Why are my cookies flat?
   Flat cookies can be due to too much butter, not enough flour, or overmixing the dough.

4. How can I make my cookies chewy?
   Bake them for a shorter time and add a little more brown sugar, which helps retain moisture.

5. Can I add ingredients like coconut or oats?
   Yes, feel free to add in those ingredients! Just adjust the flour to maintain the right consistency.
