You can add nuts like walnuts or pecans for a little crunch if you like. Another variation is to sprinkle sea salt on top of the cookies before baking for an added flavor contrast.

FAQs

1. Can I use margarine instead of butter?
Yes, you can use margarine, but the flavor and texture may differ slightly.

2. What should I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough is too sticky, you can chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before baking to make it easier to handle.

3. How can I tell when the cookies are done?
The cookies are done when the edges are firm and set, while the centers should still look a bit soft. They will firm up as they cool.
