• Don’t skip the step of flattening the cookies; this helps them bake evenly.
• Experiment with different sugar substitutes to find the one you enjoy the most.

FAQs

1. Can I use regular sugar instead of erythritol?
Yes, you can use regular sugar, but this will no longer make the cookies sugar-free.

2. What if I don’t have almond or coconut flour?
You can substitute with a gluten-free all-purpose flour mix, but keep in mind that the texture may vary.

3. Can I make these cookies vegan?
Yes! You can use flax eggs in place of the eggs by mixing one tablespoon of ground flaxseed with three tablespoons of water for each egg. Let it sit until it thickens before adding to the batter.
