I’m out of whole wheat flour. What is a good substitute (for the best flavor)?
regular all purpose or a mix of all purpose and oat flour
Thanks!
Are these cookies crunchy and if not how can I make them so?
Meeta, it depends on which fat you use. If you use coconut oil or earth balance butter, they will be less crunchy. With canola oil or other oils they will be crunchier.
These were really good and had a nice crunch to them. Yum.
Umm i just made these cookies but the dough was very crumbly, i couldn’t even spoon it out properly. i used an ice cream scooper and tightly packed it. did anyone else have this problem? they are in the oven right now. i’ll let them cook a bit longer than suggested. i hope they don’t break. any ideas why this might be happening? thanks.
Hmm. I did not have the problem. Maybe too many large nuts/dried fruits in the dough are causing it. You can add a bit more agave and flour to hold it together. How were they after baking? Thanks for writing.
Couldn’t get any better delicious and healthy! YAY 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Your cookies look scrumptious! I love all the options you’ve included. I really like cooking with oat flour and love adding flaxmeal to treats.
