Tips & Substitutions

If you prefer a nut-free version, simply omit the nuts or replace them with additional oats. Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips or add dried fruits for a twist. If you're looking for American recipes, this is a great one to try.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of flour in this recipe?
While all-purpose flour is recommended for the best texture, you can experiment with whole wheat flour for a healthier option. Keep in mind that it may result in a denser cookie, so you might need to adjust the liquid ingredients slightly.
What can I substitute for Crisco shortening?
If you prefer not to use Crisco, you can substitute it with an equal amount of unsalted butter or coconut oil. This will enhance the flavor and result in a slightly different texture, so choose based on your preference.
Can I add more chocolate chips?
Absolutely! If you're a chocolate lover, feel free to increase the amount of chocolate chips or butterscotch chips to 8 ounces each. Just be aware that adding too many may affect the cookie's structure, so balance is key.
