FAQs
Q: Can I freeze the cookie dough?
A: Absolutely! If you want to prepare the dough in advance, you can shape it into balls and freeze them on a baking sheet. Once they’re frozen, transfer the dough balls to a freezer bag. When you’re ready to bake, simply place the frozen dough balls onto a baking sheet and bake as directed, adding a few minutes to the baking time if needed.
Q: How long do these cookies stay fresh?
A: When stored in an airtight container at room temperature, these cookies can stay fresh for up to a week. However, their soft texture is best enjoyed within the first few days.
Q: Can I substitute the molasses with something else?
A: While molasses provides a unique flavor to these cookies, you can substitute it with an equal amount of honey or maple syrup if desired. Keep in mind that this will alter the taste slightly.
Q: Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
A: Whole wheat flour can be used as a substitute, but it will result in a denser and heartier texture. If you prefer a lighter and softer cookie, it’s best to stick with all-purpose flour.
