  4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking tray with If You Care baking sheets and spray if desired
  5. Form cookies by rolling about 2 tablespoons of dough in your hand and add to tray (these cookies spread a little so leave about 1 inch in-between)
  6. Bake in oven for 10-12 minutes then cool for a few minutes and enjoy!

Notes

Store leftovers in airtight container for 5 days or freezer for longer

*Sub dairy-free/vegan if needed. You can also use 1/2 cup of SOLIDIFIED coconut oil. Melt it to liquid form then let it cool for a bit (measure before melting)

*Can sub cane sugar or date sugar but not honey or maple syrup (no liquid sweeter)

*I haven’t tested flax egg but it should work too

*Can sub spelt flour or wheat flour if not gf but I haven’t tested any others
