Tips & Substitutions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of flour for this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour or a gluten-free blend. Keep in mind that the texture and flavor may vary slightly. If using whole wheat flour, you might want to add a bit more liquid to the dough.

How can I make these cookies healthier?

You can make these cookies healthier by reducing the sugar by half or using a sugar substitute. Additionally, consider adding oats or incorporating some whole grains. You can also replace some of the butter with applesauce to lower the fat content while keeping moisture.

What should I do if the dough is too sticky?

If the dough is too sticky, try chilling it in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes. This will make it easier to handle. You can also lightly flour your hands or the surface where you are working to help manage the stickiness better.
