Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Dutch-process cocoa?
Yes, it will result in a darker color and a milder, smoother chocolate taste.
Why are my cookies flat?
Ensure your butter is only softened, not melted, and chill the dough if your kitchen is warm.
How do I keep them soft?
Store in an airtight container with a small slice of bread to maintain moisture.
