• Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon for even sizes.

FAQs

Q: Can I make these nut-free?

A: Yes. Replace the mixed nuts with extra seeds or roasted chickpeas to keep crunch without nuts.

Q: Can I use white sugar instead of honey or maple syrup?

A: I do not recommend it. Honey or maple syrup helps bind the cookies and adds moisture. If you must, use a small amount of liquid sweetener and add a little oil.

Q: How do I make the cookies chewier?

A: Use slightly more nut butter or press them down less before baking. Also do not overbake; remove when edges turn light brown.

Q: Can I make these vegan?

A: Yes. Use maple syrup instead of honey and check your nut butter label.
