FAQ:

Can I use margarine instead of butter?
While butter gives the best flavor and texture, margarine can be used in a pinch. However, the cookies may not be as rich or flavorful.

How can I make my cookies thicker?
Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking helps the cookies keep their shape. You can also add cornstarch to the dough for added thickness.

Can I use other types of chocolate chips?
Yes! You can use milk chocolate, white chocolate, or even peanut butter chips for different flavor combinations.
