FAQ

Can I substitute almond flour with other types of flour? Almond flour is unique due to its high-fat content, making it challenging to substitute directly with other flours in this recipe. However, if you’re open to experimentation, you might try a combination of other gluten-free flours for a different texture.

How do I achieve a chewier texture in these cookies? Increasing the moisture content by adding a little more coconut oil or incorporating a small amount of applesauce might help achieve a chewier texture.

Can I add other ingredients like chocolate chips or nuts? Absolutely! Feel free to personalize these cookies by adding your favorite mix-ins like dark chocolate chips, chopped almonds, or shredded coconut.
