Can I use margarine instead of butter?

While you can substitute margarine for butter, it may alter the texture and flavor of the cookies. Butter provides a rich flavor and creaminess, which helps create a chewy cookie. If you're looking for a dairy-free option, consider using coconut oil or vegan butter, which can mimic the properties of butter more closely.

How do I store leftover cookies?

To store leftover Wonderland Chocolate Chip Cookies, place them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last for about a week. If you want to keep them fresh for longer, consider freezing the cookies. Place them in a freezer-safe bag or container, and they will stay fresh for up to three months!

Can I substitute chocolate chips with other ingredients?

Absolutely! You can replace chocolate chips with nuts, dried fruits, or even chunks of caramel or peanut butter for a unique twist! Just remember to maintain the same cup measurements so that the cookie dough consistency is preserved.

What can I do if my dough is too sticky?

If your cookie dough is too sticky, it may mean that your butter was too warm, or you may have added an extra liquid by mistake. You can fix this by adding a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough reaches a manageable consistency.

How can I make my cookies thicker?

To achieve thicker cookies, you can chill your dough for longer and reduce the baking time slightly. This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven. You could also add a bit more flour or reduce the sugar slightly, which aids in creating a thicker texture.
