Could this recipe be doubled or tripled and kept in the fridge for baking at later times?
If so what changes, if any, are needed? TY
Can I leave the nuts out and substitute for raisins or crasins? If so, how much, 1:1?
My 2nd batch experience diif from 1st, but changed things up. Increased add-ins by 1/4c & dumped in about 1/3c of walnuts sitting in a bag. Used a muffin scoop & got 12 cookies. Had to bake for 18 min & cool for 5 before setting off to cool completely. They’re good, but more soft than chewy, but in a goid way. Next time I may use 1c of flour to see effects. Great recipe for someone living alone that doesn’t need a bunch of yummy goodies around 😉
