FAQs
1. Can I make these cookies ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can make the dough in advance. Just chill it in the fridge and bake when you’re ready.
2. How do I freeze leftover cookies?
Let them cool completely, then store in a freezer-safe container or bag. Just layer parchment paper between cookies to keep them from sticking!
3. What if I don’t have brown sugar?
You can substitute with granulated sugar, but if you mix in a tablespoon of molasses, you’ll get close to that brown sugar flavor!
