Notes
Tips to make delicious cookies
- Use a small amount of erythritol (or other sweetener) for a subtle sweetness - you can always add more if desired.
- Do not overmix the cookie dough or they will become tough.
- The cookies may be molded to any size and thickness you wish, so feel free to shape them as needed. They don't absorb moisture, so they're not sticky.
- Avoid overbaking the cookies or they will become hard.
- Bake the cookies only until they are set but not overly browned. As they cool down, they continue to cook.
