Mistake 3: Crowding the Baking Tray
Leaving enough space between each cookie dough is crucial. Crowding can lead to cookies merging into one another, resulting in an uneven appearance and texture.
Mistake 4: Overbaking
Watch the cookies closely during the final minutes of baking. Overbaking can make them hard. Remove from the oven when the edges are golden but the center is still soft.
FAQ for 5 Questions about this Recipe
Q1: Can I use margarine instead of butter?
While butter is recommended for its rich flavor, margarine can be used as a substitute. However, expect a slight difference in taste and texture.
Q2: Can I skip the ginger powder?
Ginger powder adds a distinctive flavor, but if you’re not a fan of ginger, you can omit it. The cookies will still be delicious with the chocolate and other spices.
Q3: What if I don’t have an ice cream scoop?
If an ice cream scoop is unavailable, a regular spoon works well. Ensure each dough ball is roughly the same size for consistent baking.

Absolutely! Experiment with different chocolate chip varieties—dark, milk, or even white chocolate chips can add a unique twist to the recipe.
Q5: Can I freeze the cookie dough for later use?
Yes, you can. Shape the dough into balls and freeze on a tray. Once solid, transfer to a bag. When ready to bake, place frozen dough balls on a tray and bake as directed.
