Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter instead of oleo, and you can substitute coconut oil for the cooking oil. If you prefer a sweeter cookie, increase the sugar slightly. Experiment with adding chocolate chips or sprinkles for extra fun, and remember to keep the dough chilled for a bit before baking to enhance the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour, though it may alter the texture slightly. Start with a 50/50 mix for the best results, as whole wheat flour can make the cookies denser. Adjusting the moisture in the recipe may also be necessary.
What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your cookie dough is too sticky, try chilling it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This will make it easier to shape into balls. You can also sprinkle a little extra flour on your hands while shaping, but be cautious not to add too much, as it can affect the cookie's texture.
Can I make these cookies ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate it for up to 3 days. Alternatively, you can shape the cookie balls and freeze them. When you're ready to bake, simply place the frozen dough on a baking sheet and add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.
