FAQ

• Q: Why do my cookies spread when bake them?
• A: There are a few reasons why your cookies might spread when you bake them. First, make sure that you are using the right amount of flour. Too much flour will make your cookies tough and dry, and they will not spread as much. Second, make sure that you are not overmixing the dough. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour, which will also make your cookies tough and dry. Third, make sure that you are not baking your cookies at too high of a temperature. A higher temperature will cause your cookies to spread more quickly.
• Q: How do make chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies?
• A: There are a few things you can do to make chewier oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. First, use old-fashioned rolled oats instead of quick oats. Old-fashioned oats have a higher moisture content than quick oats, which will help to make your cookies chewier. Second, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour, which will also make your cookies chewier. Third, bake your cookies for a shorter amount of time. Overbaking will make your cookies tough and dry.
• Q: Can make oatmeal chocolate chip cookies without brown sugar?
• A: Yes, you can make oatmeal chocolate chip cookies without brown sugar. However, brown sugar adds a lot of flavor and moisture to the cookies, so your cookies will not be as chewy or flavorful without it.
• Q: Can use different types of chocolate chips in my oatmeal chocolate chip cookies?
• Yes, you can use different types of chocolate chips in your oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Some popular choices include milk chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and butterscotch chips.
