FAQs
1. Can I use other types of chocolate?
Yes! You can use milk chocolate or even white chocolate chips if you prefer a different flavor.
2. Can I make these cookies gluten-free?
You can use a gluten-free flour blend in place of all-purpose flour for a gluten-free option.
3. What should I do if my cookies are too dry?
Make sure not to overbake them! Keep an eye on them in the oven, as every oven can vary in baking time. If they do turn out a bit dry, you can serve them with a scoop of ice cream to add moisture back in.
