Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute coconut flour with another type of flour?

Coconut flour is unique and absorbs a lot of moisture. If you need to substitute it, use almond flour or oat flour instead, but remember to adjust the liquid ingredients as they behave differently compared to coconut flour.

How should I store these cookies to keep them fresh?

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 3 months, placing parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.

What should I do if the cookie dough is too wet?

If your dough is too wet, you can add a little more coconut flour, a tablespoon at a time, until you achieve a moldable consistency. It's essential to incorporate it gradually to avoid making the dough too dry.
