Yes, you can substitute almond flour with other flours, but keep in mind that the texture and flavor may change. If you use regular all-purpose flour, you might need to adjust the quantity, as it absorbs moisture differently. For a gluten-free option, you can use a gluten-free all-purpose blend; however, the results may vary.

How can I make these cookies vegan?

To make these cookies vegan, simply replace the large egg with a flax egg. To create a flax egg, mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 2.5 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens, and then use it as a substitute for the egg in the recipe.

Can I add mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts?

Absolutely! You can enhance the flavor and texture of your cookies by adding mix-ins such as dark chocolate chips, chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans), or even dried fruit. Just be sure not to overload the dough, as it may affect the baking time and texture.

How should I store leftover cookies?

To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for up to 2 weeks or freeze them for up to 3 months. When freezing, place the cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe container. To enjoy, thaw at room temperature or warm them in the microwave for a few seconds.
