Notes
Ingredient Substitutions
All-purpose flour. Bread flour or pastry flour can be used in place of all-purpose flour. You can substitute up to half of the flour with whole wheat pastry flour or white whole wheat flour, if desired.
Butter. Salted and unsalted butter can both be used in this recipe. You can substitute canola oil or coconut oil for the butter as well.
Light Brown Sugar. you can use dark brown sugar, just note it will impart a slightly more detectable molasses taste.
Granulated sugar. I use organic cane sugar in all my baking, any granulated white sugar works well.
Chocolate chips. Use your favorite chips of any level of darkness (milk, semisweet dark, etc.). You can also use chopped chocolate.
