FAQs

1. Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour?
Yes, but the texture and taste will be different. Almond flour keeps the cookies moist and adds a nutty flavor.

2. Are these cookies gluten-free?
Yes, as long as you ensure your baking soda and any optional ingredients are gluten-free!

3. Can I use honey instead of maple syrup?
Yes, honey works well as a substitute, but it will make the cookies no longer vegan.
