Tips & Substitutions
For a more unique flavor, consider using a flavored cake mix like lemon or chocolate. If you want to add texture, mix in oats or crushed pretzels. You can substitute the oil with melted butter for a richer taste. If you don't have eggs, a flaxseed meal or applesauce can work as replacements. These cookies can be made chewy or crispy depending on your baking time.
