Notes

Scroll up to see substitution options. Nutrition information is an estimate and may vary based on ingredients used.
  • if wanting to use an egg: replace flax egg + applesauce with 1 egg and reduce applesauce to 2 tbsp
  • if you want these sweeter: add 2-4 tablespoon maple syrup (will still be lightly sweet, not traditional sugar cookie sweet)
optional yogurt drizzle: mix ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt + 1-2 teaspoon maple syrup + splash of vanilla + few splashes of milk to thin out, then whisk until smooth and drizzle over cooled cookies (double up if needed)
