FAQs
No, that wouldn’t be the same thing. They would be very bitter and tart rather than add a sweetness to the cookies.
This type of cookies does really well in the freezer! Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store in a freezer container. They will remain fresh for at least 6 months, sometimes up to a year.
Storage
Store cookies in an airtight container. They will remain fresh for 3-4 days at room temperature or up to 6 months (or longer) in the freezer.
Pro Tips
- Add a teaspoon of ground cinnamon with the flour to elevate the flavor.
- For thicker cookies that are less likely to spread, refrigerate for 20-30 minutes after scooping and before baking.
- For evenly sized cookies, use a cookie scoop.
