Can I use milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate?

Yes, you can substitute but be aware that it will make the cookies sweeter.

What if I don’t have cocoa powder?

Cocoa powder is key for flavor and texture. It's best not to omit it, but you can try a small bit of melted chocolate instead.

Can I double this recipe?

Absolutely! Just ensure you have enough baking sheets and allow enough space for the cookies to spread.

What can I use instead of eggs?

You can use flaxseed meal mixed with water or applesauce as substitutes for eggs, keeping in mind it may change the texture slightly.

Can I freeze the cookie dough?

Yes! You can scoop the dough onto a baking sheet, freeze, and then store in an airtight container. Just bake them from frozen, adding an extra minute or two to the baking time.
