FAQs

How do I prevent the cookies from spreading too much?

Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to help maintain their shape.

Can I use white chocolate chunks instead of chips?

Yes! Chunks will create larger pockets of creamy white chocolate.

What type of sprinkles work best?

Use jimmies (the long, rod-shaped sprinkles) as they hold their color and shape better during baking.

Can I make these cookies dairy-free?

Yes, use a dairy-free butter substitute and dairy-free white chocolate chips.

Why are my cookies too hard?

Overbaking can make them hard. Remove them from the oven when the edges are lightly golden.

Can I add food coloring to the dough?

Absolutely! A few drops of food coloring can make them even more vibrant.

How do I make them extra chewy?

Use more brown sugar than white sugar and avoid overmixing the dough.

Can I make these cookies ahead of time?

Do these cookies work with whole wheat flour?

They will be denser, but you can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
