FAQ
Can I use cookie dough instead?
Yes—store-bought dough works, but homemade gives the best texture and flavor.
Is the center supposed to be gooey?
Yes! The center should be soft and slightly underbaked—this keeps it moist and fudgy.
Can I cook this on HIGH?
LOW is recommended for even cooking. HIGH may overcook the edges before the center sets.
