Could these be made as a cookie?
Thank you!
I haven’t tried it, but this cookie dough will spread out if you did make cookies. But if you wanted to try it, an option could be, is to place the dough (s) in mini muffin tins or regular muffin tins to get cookie cup-like cookies. The dough is not chilled, so maybe if you tried chilling the dough it might work, but I would also add in more flour and maybe some baking powder to give them some structure, but I would have to experiment. If you try it and it works out, let us know.
