Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different sweetener instead of sugar?
Yes, you can substitute sugar with a natural sweetener like coconut sugar or a sugar substitute that measures 1:1. Just be aware that it may slightly alter the texture and flavor of the cookies.
How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
The cookies will be lightly golden around the edges and set in the middle when done. They may look slightly underbaked but will firm up as they cool. Avoid overbaking to maintain a chewy texture.
Can I freeze these cookies for later?
Absolutely! You can freeze the baked cookies in an airtight container for up to three months. To thaw, simply let them sit at room temperature for a few hours or microwave them for a few seconds.
