Ingredient Swaps & Notes

• Flour Tip: Bread and cake flours give the cookie structure and tenderness. You can sub with all-purpose flour, but the texture will be slightly different.
• Cream Substitute: Whole milk can be used in place of heavy cream in a pinch.
• Add-Ins: Want to go next-level? Try folding in chopped walnuts or even chunks of white chocolate for visual contrast.

Tips for Cookie Success

• Chill Time Matters: Freezing helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much and improves texture.
• Don’t Overbake: These cookies are best slightly underbaked in the center for that gooey finish.
• Size Control: You can make smaller versions by using about 2 tbsp of each dough.
