FAQ
Q: Can I use whole eggs instead of just egg white?
A: Using the whole egg will change the texture slightly. Stick with just the white for that delicate, meltaway feel.

Q: Can I make these gluten-free?
A: Yes, use a gluten-free 1:1 flour substitute, but the texture may be slightly more crumbly.

Q: Why add cornstarch?
A: Cornstarch gives the cookies a soft, tender texture that helps them melt in your mouth.

Q: Can I chill the dough?
A: You can chill it for 15–20 minutes to make shaping easier, especially if your kitchen is warm.
