❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Ghirardelli Chocolate Chip Cookies

Yes, you can substitute milk chocolate chips. The cookies will be sweeter and less rich.

2. How should I store these cookies?

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

3. Can I freeze the cookie dough?

Yes, you can freeze the dough. Roll into balls and place on a baking sheet. Freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding 2-3 minutes to the baking time.

4. Why are my cookies flat?

Flat cookies can result from butter that is too soft or overmixing. Make sure your butter is just softened, not melted, and mix the dough only until combined.

5. Can I add nuts to this recipe?

Absolutely. Fold in 1 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans along with the chocolate chips.
