Commonly Asked Questions
Can I use different types of chocolate for these cookies?
Absolutely! While this recipe uses two types of Scharffen Berger chocolate, you can easily swap them out for your favorite brands or even use chocolate chips. Just make sure to choose good quality chocolate for the best flavor!
What should I do if my cookie dough is too soft?
If you find that your cookie dough is too soft to scoop, you can refrigerate it for about 30 minutes. Chilling the dough will help it firm up, making it easier to shape into cookies.
How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
You’ll want to keep an eye on the cookies as they bake. They should look set around the edges but still soft in the middle. They’ll continue to firm up as they cool, so don’t worry if they seem a little underbaked!
How should I store leftover cookies?
To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay good for about a week, but trust me, they probably won’t last that long!
Can I freeze the cookie dough for later use?
Yes, you can! Just scoop the dough onto a baking sheet and freeze the cookie dough balls until firm. Once frozen, transfer them to a zip-top bag and store them in the freezer for up to three months. When you’re ready to bake, just add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.
How do I reheat cookies for the best texture?
If you want to enjoy warm cookies later, just pop them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds. This will give you that gooey, freshly baked texture again. Enjoy!
