Variations for Dietary Preferences
- Butter– if dairy free you can sub this foe vegan butter or coconut oil
- Sweetener – You can use coconut sugar or organic light brown sugar in place of the sugar free sweetener in the cookies
- Egg – I have not tried for certain, but a flax egg should hold up well in this recipe
- Almond flour – unfortunately, almond flour holds moisture much differently than other flours. I don’t believe substituting another flour would work well here.
