Tips & Substitutions
For a richer chocolate flavor, consider using dark cocoa powder instead of regular cocoa.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the Pet milk with regular milk?
Yes, you can substitute Pet milk with regular whole milk or any milk alternative like almond or oat milk. Just keep in mind that the texture may vary slightly, so adjust the consistency by adding a little more oats if necessary.
How do I know when the cookies have set properly?
The cookies will set as they cool on the waxed paper. They should be firm to the touch but still slightly soft in the center. Allow them to cool for at least 30 minutes to ensure they hold their shape when you serve them.
Can I make these cookies vegan?
Absolutely! To make these cookies vegan, substitute the butter with a plant-based butter alternative and use a non-dairy milk such as almond or soy milk. The recipe will still yield delicious cookies that everyone can enjoy!
