Do you have any substitute for this recipe?
The only substitutes I have for these cookies are listed here. And if you want the cookies to turn out delicious, I would suggest baking the cookies as listed. Because swapping out a variety of ingredients or flours doesn’t always work out. And I would hate for you to waste ingredients!
How to prepare:
Add all the ingredients except the items for the drizzle to a food processor or a high powered blender. And process until you get a sticky, smooth consistency. Using a Tbsp ice cream scoop, scoop out batter, and place on a lined cookie sheet. And bake 350 F for 10-12 minutes.
Preparing the coconut butter drizzle:
And once the cookies are done baking, let them rest for 5 minutes before transferring to a wired cooling rack. Melt the raw coconut butter and coconut oil in microwave or stove top until melted. And using a small spoon, drizzle the melted coconut butter over each cookie. And transfer to the refrigerator for 5 minutes to allow the coconut butter to set.
How to store:
I like to store the cookies in an airtight container either in the refrigerator. But these cookies also freeze really well. And if you want them to last longer, I would suggest storing in the freezer, in an airtight container.
I hope you love these as much as I do. And if you make them, don’t forget to tag me in your creations so I can see over on Instagram.
