Notes
- Healthier variant - For a healthier option, you could opt for whole wheat flour or almond flour, but I am not sure of the outcome.
- Sweeteners - Instead of using demerara sugar, you can opt for honey or maple syrup.
- Butter: Butter should be brought to room temperature and then melted and measured.
- Oven settings - The oven should be preheated before baking. Additionally, the center rack is the best preferred choice due to even heat distribution.
- Refrigeration - You can keep the dough in fridge until preheating time as this prevents the cookies from spreading too thin, but I skipped doing this.
- Baking time - The baking time depends on the cookie size and thickness. A thicker cookie might take anywhere between 20 minutes to get baked completely, so adjust the timing accordingly.
