Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour, but the texture may be denser. You might need to adjust the liquid slightly to ensure the dough holds together well.
What can I use instead of raisins?
If you're not a fan of raisins, you can substitute them with dried cranberries, chopped dried apricots, or even dark chocolate chunks for a different flavor profile.
Are these cookies suitable for a vegan diet?
To make these cookies vegan, substitute the egg with a flaxseed egg or unsweetened applesauce and use a plant-based margarine. Check that your chocolate morsels are dairy-free as well.
