Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using Butter Buds instead of butter to reduce fat content. If you prefer a different sweetener, agave syrup can be a great alternative to honey. Adding a pinch of salt can enhance the flavors, and feel free to substitute sunflower seeds with chopped nuts for added texture. To keep cookies soft, avoid overbaking them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of flour instead of whole wheat?
Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour if desired, but keep in mind this may increase the calorie count and reduce the health benefits. For a gluten-free option, try using almond flour or a gluten-free blend, adjusting the liquid as necessary.
How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
The cookies are done when they turn golden brown around the edges and feel slightly firm to the touch. If you insert a toothpick, it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs, indicating that they are baked through but not overdone.
Can I add other ingredients to the cookie dough?
Absolutely! You can customize the dough by adding ingredients like shredded coconut, chopped dried fruits, or different types of nuts. Just be mindful of the overall moisture content, as adding too many dry ingredients may require you to adjust the wet ingredients.
