Frequently Asked Questions

Can I double this recipe?

Easily! Just use double all ingredients.

Can I freeze these baked cookies?

Yes, place in air tight freezer containers, and freeze up to 3 months.

Can I use white or colored melting chocolate?

Yes, white chocolate is even trickier to temper (melt) than regular chocolate, so use care with the heat. Melting candy is easier to melt, but you get best results treating it just like regular chocolate when tempering.
