INGREDIENT NOTES:
ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR:
- This ingredient gives a structure to the cookies when you bake them. Use whole wheat flour as a substitute.
COCONUT OIL:
- Oil helps the cookies produce a chewy texture. For a substitute, use neutral oil, but using neutral oil will make the cookies a bit crispy.
BROWN SUGAR:
- This includes a caramel flavor inside the cookies, and also gives the cookies moisture. For an alternative, use coconut sugar, which will make the cookies a bit less sweet.
PLANT MILK:
- Since there are no eggs in this recipe, plant milk helps in binding all the ingredients for the cookie dough. For an alternative, use cashew milk.
VEGAN CHOCOLATE CHIPS:
- These include sweetness in the cookies, which also makes them a classic. For an alternative, use sugar-free chocolate or chopped dark chocolate.
