Recipe Notes

  • I have used whole wheat flour in this recipe. You can also replace it with all-purpose flour.
  • You can replace the coconut sugar that I have used with regular sugar or brown sugar in this recipe.
  • After the cookie is baked, it will be very soft. Once it is cooled down, it will turn crispy.
  • Feel free to shape the cookie in any design that you like. I have used the apple slicer to do this.
