Frequently Asked Questions
Help! My Felix's Cookie Recipe cookies spread too thin. What did I do wrong?
Thin, flat cookies can be a real bummer, a bit like a soggy bottom on a Great British Bake Off showstopper! Usually, it's down to butter that's too soft (almost melted), or overmixing the dough which develops too much gluten.
Try chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking next time, and make sure your butter is softened but still cool to the touch like room temperature butter, not melted butter.
Can I freeze the dough from Felix's Cookie Recipe for later?
Absolutely! Freezing cookie dough is a brilliant way to have fresh cookies on demand. Simply scoop the dough into balls, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer the cookie dough balls to a freezer bag or airtight container and store for up to 2-3 months.
When you're ready to bake, you can bake the cookies directly from frozen, just add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time. Think of it as your own personal, always ready cookie shop!
I'm trying to cut back on sugar. Can I reduce the sugar in Felix's Cookie Recipe?
You can reduce the sugar, but be mindful that it will affect the texture and sweetness of the cookies. Start by reducing each sugar (granulated and brown) by about 1/4 cup. You might also consider using a natural sweetener like stevia or monk fruit sweetener, but follow the package instructions for conversion as they often have different sweetness levels compared to regular sugar.
Just remember, a little sweetness goes a long way!
What's the best way to store Felix's Cookie Recipe cookies to keep them fresh?
To keep those delicious Felix's cookies tasting their best, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They'll stay fresh for about 3-5 days if they last that long! For optimal texture, add a slice of bread to the container; the bread will absorb excess moisture and keep the cookies soft.
Nobody wants a stale biscuit with their cuppa!
Can I use different types of chocolate in Felix's Cookie Recipe?
Definitely! Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate to create your perfect cookie. Dark chocolate chunks will give a richer, more intense flavor, while white chocolate chips will add a touch of sweetness and creaminess.
