Frequently asked questions – FAQ

You can make this recipe with both chilled or unchilled dough. I prefer the child dough method because it results in cookies that are a tad bit thicker since the chilling allows the flour to absorb more liquid. It also allows the flavors of the chocolate chunk cookies to develop even more.

If you decide to make these cookies without chilling the dough, bake them for 1-2 minutes less.

How to store these Chick Fil A cookies?

These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. You can also pop them in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 7 days.

Once you’re ready to enjoy them pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to get them ooey gooey again and enjoy!

Can I freeze CFA chocolate chunk cookies?

Yes! You can also freeze these baked cookies in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Once you’re ready to enjoy them thaw them in the fridge overnight or on the countertop for less.

My favorite way to thaw these is to pop them in the microwave for a few seconds and enjoy them!

Can I make mini Chick Fil A cookies?

Yes, you can! Instead of making 16 larger cookies, you will be able to make 32 smaller ones. Instead of baking them for 13-14 minutes, bake them for 10 minutes instead.
