Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes. This recipe is forgiving. Making it ahead often makes serving easier and lets the flavors settle naturally.

How can I ensure my cookies are thick?

To achieve a thicker cookie, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. This helps prevent spreading while baking.

You can mix granulated sugar with a small amount of molasses to create a brown sugar substitute in a pinch.
