❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Crisco Chocolate Chip Cookies

1. Can I use butter instead of Crisco?

You can, but the cookies will be flatter and crispier. Crisco gives the cookies a softer, chewier texture that stays tender longer.

2. Why are my cookies spreading too much?

This can happen if the dough is too warm. Try chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Also, be sure to measure your flour correctly by spooning it into the measuring cup.

3. How should I store these cookies?

Store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay soft for up to a week. You can also freeze the baked cookies for up to 3 months.

4. Can I freeze the cookie dough?

Yes, you can freeze the dough in a log or in individual scoops. Just thaw in the refrigerator before baking, or bake from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the bake time.

5. Can I use this recipe for gluten free cookies?

You can try substituting a 1 to 1 gluten free flour blend. The texture may be slightly different, but it should work well. Just be sure your other ingredients are gluten free.
