FAQs

Yes, you can use all-purpose flour, but the texture may be a bit different. Cake flour gives the cookies a lighter and softer texture.
2. How can I make these cookies gluten-free?
You can substitute the all-purpose and cake flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure it measures 1:1 to regular flour.
3. Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can make the dough and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze it for up to 3 months. Just scoop the dough into balls before freezing.
