  • Swap in white chocolate, peanut butter chips, or nuts

🧊 Storage & Freezing

  • Reheat: Microwave cookies for 10 seconds for that fresh-baked feel!

πŸ” FAQ – Chocolate Chip Cookies

Q: Why are my cookies flat?
Check that your butter wasn’t too warm and that your baking soda is fresh.

Q: Can I make them gluten-free?
Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend and check that your chocolate chips are gluten-free.
