FAQs

Can I use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar?
Yes, you can replace some or all of the granulated sugar with brown sugar for a moister result.

What can I use if I don’t have cream of tartar?
You can substitute cream of tartar with an equal amount of lemon juice or vinegar, which will help the cookies rise.

Can I double this recipe?
Absolutely! Just make sure to use a larger baking pan, and adjust the baking time as needed.
