Recipe FAQs
Yes! Although we love the use of brown sugar for perfect texture, these work great with coconut sugar. It will be more crispy and less chewy.
We recommend using melted and cooled unsalted butter instead of coconut oil. Vegetable oil will make them way too soft and they won’t have the proper texture.
No, other types of flour like coconut or all purpose have different properties and will not work as a replacement.
Semi sweet is the perfect variety for making these cookies. Use a good brand like Ghiradelli or Guittard to make the best recipe.
