FAQs

Can I use a different kind of flour?

All-purpose flour works best for the right texture, but you can experiment with whole wheat or gluten-free flour blends. Keep in mind the texture and cooking time may vary.

How do I know when the cookie is done?

The cookie should look set around the edges but still soft in the center. It will continue to cook slightly after microwaving, so avoid overcooking to keep it tender.
