FAQs

1. Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough a day in advance. Just wrap it tightly and refrigerate. When you’re ready to bake, let it sit at room temperature for a bit before rolling out.

2. How do I know when the cookies are done?
The cookies should be lightly golden around the edges. They may look a little soft in the center but will firm up as they cool.

3. Can I substitute brown sugar with white sugar?
While you can use white sugar, brown sugar gives cookies a deeper flavor and moisture. If you do substitute, consider using a mix of white and brown sugars for better taste.
