Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark cocoa powder instead of cocoa mix. You can substitute the butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free option. If you're looking for a nut-free version, replace peanut butter with sunflower seed butter. To enhance texture, add a handful of chocolate chips or nuts. These cookies can also be rolled into balls instead of spooning for a different shape.
