FAQs

Can I use only white sugar for cookies?

Yes this cookie recipe is my white sugar only version of original chocolate chip cookies. you can definitely use, the color will be little lighter and depth of flavor that comes with brown sugar.

How do you fix hardened brown sugar?

You might have experienced hardened brown sugar, even sometimes in super markets. This happens when the moisture from the molasses of brown sugar evaporates leaving the brown unusable hard as rock brown sugar.
You can save it easily by keeping a slice of bread in the container of brown sugar and it will soften up the brown sugar in a couple of hours.
I always keep a slice inside my brown sugar and replace it every week.

What can I use instead of brown sugar?

Most of the times, brown sugar is not necessary for baking cookies, however it is a typical ingredient in chocolate chip cookies. You can always substitute it with white sugar.

Substitutions and Variations

You can use any type of chocolate chips or even chocolate chunks or chopped chocolate.

For this recipe I prefer compound chocolate and not couverture because high baking temperature might burn the chocolate.

You can add chopped nuts and up to 1/4 cup of oats.

You can replace half flour with whole wheat flour.

Serving Suggestions

Chocolate chip cookies are great with a cup of warm or cold milk. It also tastes great with coffee or tea.

Storage and make ahead

These are great cookies to make ahead both prior to baking or after fully baked.

You can refrigerate the prepared batter in fridge for up to a day and then bake them scooping it out covered well.

You can scoop the batter on a baking sheet, freeze and then place the frozen portions in zip lock bag, to bake, place them directly on baking sheet (spacing them well) and bake in preheated oven as mentioned in the recipe.

These are ideal treat and snacks for kids and their lunch boxes, free from preservatives, additives and artificial flavors.
