Frequently asked questions
Can I use another sweetener instead of maple syrup?
Absolutely! You can use honey (if not vegan), agave syrup, rice syrup, or even coconut sugar dissolved in a little water to maintain the liquid consistency.
Can I replace the coconut oil?
Yes, coconut oil can be replaced with a neutral vegetable oil (such as sunflower or grapeseed oil).
What should I do if the dough is too sticky to shape?
If the dough is too sticky, place it in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes. This will firm it up and make it easier to shape the cookies.
How should I store these cookies?
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 4 to 5 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them once baked and quickly reheat them in the oven before eating.
