Fantastic cookies! I reduced baking soda from 1 tsp to 3/4 tsp to reduce sodium. I used avocado oil instead of coconut oil.

Love these! I used 1/2 cup applesauce plus 1 T grape seed oil instead of 1/4 cup each of applesauce and coconut oil. They came out perfectly!
I need to reduce sodium as much as possible. Is it possible to eliminate or heavily reduce the baking soda?

Can I use coconut sugar as a substitute for the brown sugar?

Loved these! Always looking for dessert recipes that use whole foods and this seriously delivered! Highly recommend trying it out. And for reference, I subbed out turbinado sugar for the brown sugar because it’s what I had in my pantry and they turned out great.

Wow, this recipe is incredible! I’m not vegan, but making a point of eating mostly plant-based healthier foods. I had a sweet tooth and wanted to do some baking and these were the perfect fix. Even the batter tasted absolutely delicious! They’re easy and quick to make, and the texture and flavor is fantastic.

UPDATE: I substituted chia seeds for flax seeds 1:1 and the recipe came out perfectly!!! Some family members don’t like sweets that aren’t loaded with sugar so on half I dipped the tops in a powdered sugar glaze, delicious!
