Tips & Substitutions
For a chewier cookie, consider using light brown sugar instead of granulated sugar. You can substitute half of the butter with applesauce for a healthier version. If you prefer a nut-free option, simply omit the chopped nuts. Additionally, you can mix in chocolate chips or dried fruits for added flavor. Ensure your butter is softened for easier mixing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use margarine instead of butter?
Yes, you can substitute margarine for butter in this recipe. However, keep in mind that the flavor and texture may vary slightly. For the best results, choose a high-quality margarine that has a similar fat content to butter.
What can I use instead of eggs?
If you're looking for an egg substitute, try using a flaxseed meal or chia seed mixture—mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal or chia seeds with 3 tablespoons of water and let it sit until it thickens. This will help bind the ingredients without compromising the cookie's texture.
How can I make these cookies gluten-free?
To make gluten-free cookies, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure the blend you choose contains xanthan gum or add it separately, as it helps with the texture. You may need to adjust the liquid ingredients slightly for the best consistency.
