 FAQs

Q: Can I substitute coconut flour for almond flour?
A: Not directly — coconut flour is more absorbent. If using, adjust with extra butter and egg to balance.

Q: Why did my cookies crumble?
A: Be sure to let them cool fully before moving — they firm up as they set.

Q: Can I make them sweeter?
A: Yes! Taste your dough and adjust erythritol to your preference.
