tips to make Chewy Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

FAQs
- Can I use different types of sugar? Yes, you can use different sugars, but it may change the texture. Brown sugar will give a chewier cookie, while granulated sugar makes it crunchier.
- What can I do if my dough is too sticky? If the dough is sticky, you can chill it a little longer in the fridge. This will help firm it up for easier scooping.
- Can I use cocoa powder substitutes? If you don’t have cocoa powder, you can try unsweetened chocolate or dark chocolate bars melted into the dough, but adjust the sugar to balance the sweetness.
