Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a sugar substitute other than Sucaryl?
Yes, you can use other sugar substitutes like Stevia or Erythritol, but be sure to check the conversion ratio as they may vary in sweetness. Adjust the amount accordingly to achieve the desired sweetness level in your cookies.
Are these cookies suitable for freezing?
Absolutely! These cookies freeze well. Just ensure they are completely cooled before placing them in a freezer-safe container. They can be frozen for up to three months, making them a great make-ahead option.
What can I substitute for the egg in this recipe?
If you're looking for an egg substitute, try using 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce or a flaxseed egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water). Both options will help bind the ingredients while keeping the cookies moist.
