📣 FAQs
Q: Can I use almond meal instead of almond flour?
A: It’s not recommended. Almond meal makes the cookies grainier and heavier.
Q: Can I skip the egg?
A: Yes, use a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water) for a vegan version.
Q: Can I make these dairy-free?
A: Absolutely! Use coconut oil or vegan butter, and dairy-free chocolate chips.
