FAQs

Can I freeze chocolate chip cookies?

After preparing the batter, make scoops, line them on a baking sheet and freeze, covered properly. When baking, directly place them in a pre-heated oven, no thawing required.

How to measure chocolate chips?

You can use measuring cup for this recipe to use 3/4 cup of chocolate chip. This is for regular sized chocolate chips. This ingredient however can be used approximately, a little more or less will not effect the recipe.

How to measure chocolate chips?

Chocolate is one ingredient (besides butter) that should ideally be measured by weight using a scale rather than volume using cups. In this recipe however, since quantity of chocolate chips will not alter the recipe, you can use a cup measurement.

How to make hard brown sugar soft again?

In simple words, when moisture of the brown sugar evaporates, it becomes rock hard. There is a very simple science backed hack to make it soft and usable again.
Place a slice of bread – whole wheat or white and place it in the airtight container in which you have placed brown sugar. After several hours, the hardened brown sugar would have softened.
You should change the bread slice every week or just before a day when you want to use it.
I do not recommend microwave, and using a processor is a big no.

Serving Suggestions

They make a great snack for evening, amazing lunch box treat and great giveaway. They remain fresh so sending or taking them to your loved ones is a good idea.

Storage and Make Ahead

You can choose to make the batter and refrigerate it for a day, in a covered container, slightly bring to room temperature before scooping them out.

Store the prepared cookies in an air tight container for up to three days.

Substitutions and Variations

I love to sneak in some healthy ingredients in any of the popular and favorite recipes at my house.

I add approximately 1/2 cup of rolled oats and 1/2 cup of walnuts to the batter to yield more servings and also add a healthy twist.

You can replace white chocolate chips with any other chocolate variety.
