Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I make these cookies gluten-free?
Yes, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure it’s suitable for baking.
2. Can I freeze the dough?
Absolutely! Shape the dough into balls, freeze them, and bake directly from frozen, adding a couple of minutes to the baking time.
3. Why didn’t my cookies crinkle?
This can happen if the dough is too warm. Chill it for 30 minutes before shaping and baking to help achieve the crinkle effect.
