Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips or adding a dash of cinnamon to the batter.

Always ensure your baking soda is fresh for the best rise.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the vegetable oil in this recipe?
Yes, you can use melted coconut oil or unsweetened applesauce for a healthier option. Both alternatives will add a different flavor profile; coconut oil will impart a subtle coconut taste, while applesauce will add moisture and a hint of sweetness.
How can I make these cookies gluten-free?
To make gluten-free cookies, substitute the all-purpose and whole-wheat flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure the blend contains xanthan gum to help bind the ingredients together for the best texture.
What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your cookie dough is too sticky, try chilling it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will firm it up and make it easier to handle. You can also add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
