Recipe Notes

  • I like to use an Airbake cookie sheet for these cookies to ensure that they don't burn on the bottom.
  • Make sure to let them cool on the cookie sheet for about 3-5 minutes before transferring them onto a flat surface.
  • Make sure that the margarine or coconut is soft but not melted.
  • If using coconut oil, choose refined coconut oil if you don't want it to have a coconut flavor.
  • The dough will be a golden brown color from the Sucanat or coconut sugar, so they may look done before they actually are.  
  • If you are making these gluten-free, be sure to use xanthan gum or they will be crumbly.
