Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of flour for this recipe?
Self-rising flour is recommended for its leavening properties, but you can substitute all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder added per cup. This will help maintain the desired texture and rise of the cookies.
Are there any vegan substitutes for the butter?
Yes, you can use a vegan butter substitute or coconut oil to make these cookies vegan. Ensure that the sweetener you choose is also vegan-friendly. This way, you can enjoy a delicious treat without compromising your dietary preferences.
What can I do if the dough is too crumbly?
If your dough is too crumbly, try adding a tablespoon of milk or a similar liquid to help bind it together. Mix it in gradually until you reach the desired consistency. This will ensure your cookies hold their shape while baking.
