FAQs
1. Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted?
Yes, you can use salted butter, but make sure to reduce the added salt in the recipe to 1/2 teaspoon.
2. How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
The cookies should be golden brown around the edges. They will continue to cook a bit after removing them from the oven, so don’t wait until they are fully browned in the center.

Absolutely! You can prepare the dough and refrigerate it for up to 3 days before baking. Just let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping it onto the baking sheet.
