Tips & Substitutions
For a softer cookie, consider reducing the baking time slightly or using light brown sugar instead of dark for a milder flavor. If you're out of nuts, try replacing them with seeds for a nut-free version. You can also substitute honey for some of the sugar for added moisture. For a twist, incorporate coconut extract to amplify the coconut flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use natural peanut butter instead of regular peanut butter?
Yes, natural peanut butter can be used; however, it may alter the cookie's texture slightly. Natural peanut butter tends to be less sweet and can result in a denser cookie. Be sure to stir it well before measuring to ensure an even consistency.
What can I substitute for eggs if I want to make these cookies vegan?
For a vegan version, you can substitute each egg with 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce or a flaxseed meal mixture (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water per egg). This will help bind the ingredients together while keeping the cookies moist.
How can I adjust the recipe if I want to make smaller batches?
To make a smaller batch, simply halve the ingredients. This will yield around 5 cups of cookies. Alternatively, you can freeze half of the dough for future baking. Just scoop and freeze the dough balls, then bake from frozen, adding a minute or two to the baking time.
