Tips & Substitutions

This recipe is quite forgiving, so feel free to adjust the nut variety based on your preference.

Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Flossy'S Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use only butter instead of margarine?
Yes, you can use only butter for this recipe. It will provide a richer flavor. Just ensure to use the same amount as the combined total of butter and margarine in the original recipe.
What can I do if I don't have chopped nuts?
If you don't have chopped nuts, you can omit them entirely or substitute with seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds. You might also sprinkle some mini chocolate chips for a different flavor profile.
How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
The cookies are done when the edges are lightly golden and the mixture has bubbled up. Keep an eye on them, as baking times can vary depending on your oven. Let them cool before breaking into pieces for the best texture.
