Frequently Asked Questions
What can I use instead of margarine for greasing the trays?
You can use butter or vegetable oil to grease the trays. Both options will work well to prevent the cookies from sticking.
How should I store the cookies after baking?
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze them in a ziplock bag for up to three months.
What can I do if my cookies don’t rise properly?
Make sure your baking powder is fresh, as expired baking powder can cause cookies to not rise. Additionally, ensure you've mixed the ingredients well and haven't overmixed the dough after adding the flour.
