FAQs

Can I use white chocolate chunks instead of chips?

Yes! Chopped white chocolate adds an extra gooey texture.

Why are my cookies flat?

Make sure your butter isn’t too melted, and chill the dough for 30 minutes if needed.

Can I use salted butter?

Yes, but reduce the added salt in the recipe by half.

What type of sprinkles work best?

Jimmies (long, rod-shaped sprinkles) work best because they don’t melt as quickly as nonpareils.

Can I make these cookies ahead of time?

Yes! You can refrigerate the dough or freeze cookie dough balls for later.

Can I double this recipe?

Absolutely! Just make sure to bake in batches so they cook evenly.

How do I make them extra chewy?

Use more brown sugar than granulated sugar for extra chewiness.

Can I make these cookies dairy-free?

Yes! Use dairy-free butter and white chocolate alternatives.

Can I use cake flour instead of all-purpose flour?

How do I get perfectly round cookies?

After baking, use a spoon to gently shape the edges while they’re still warm.
