FAQs
Can I use a different sweetener instead of liquid stevia?
Yes, you can substitute liquid stevia with other low-carb liquid sweeteners like monk fruit extract or erythritol-based syrups. Adjust the quantity to taste, as sweetness levels vary.
Are these cookies suitable for nut allergies?
If you have a nut allergy, consider using sunflower seed butter or tahini in place of peanut butter to keep the recipe nut-free. Ensure all other ingredients are safe and nut-free as well.
