FAQs
1. Can I use margarine instead of butter?
Sure! But the flavor and texture might be a bit different. Butter adds that rich taste we all love.
2. How can I make these cookies softer?
Try reducing the baking time slightly or adding an extra egg yolk to the mixture for added moisture.
3. What if I don’t have pumpkin spice orange chips?
No worries! Use more chocolate chips or add a dash of pumpkin spice to regular orange chips. They’ll still taste awesome!
