VEGAN FETA CHEESE:
- It includes a tangy, salty taste in the cookies. Vegan feta cheese provides creaminess to the filling. Use vegan cream cheese as a substitute.
ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR:

UNSWEETENED VEGAN MILK:
- It makes the proper dough consistency and keeps the cookies tender. You may use cashew milk as per your preference.
