Why Did My Cookies Turn Out Dry or Crumbly

Usually, too much flour or overbaking causes dryness. Therefore, measure carefully and remove cookies once the edges turn golden. Also, add a small splash of milk if the dough feels too dry.

Can I Make the Dough Ahead of Time

Yes, you can refrigerate the dough for up to 48 hours. However, let it soften slightly before rolling.

How Do I Know When the Cookies Are Done

Look for lightly golden edges and soft centers. They should not appear wet, but they should not brown deeply either.

Notes

Cookies have a soft chewy center with a lightly crisp sugar-coated exterior.

Add a small amount of milk if dough seems crumbly.

Unwrap chocolate candies before baking for quick placement.

Dough should resemble soft play dough and should not stick heavily to hands.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 to 4 days.

Cookies can be frozen up to 6 months. Slight chocolate discoloration does not affect taste.
