Notes
- Use quick oats for a softer texture or rolled oats for a chewier bite.
- Maple syrup makes the recipe vegan, while honey can be used for a sweeter variation but is not vegan.
- These cookies should be kept chilled to maintain their shape and texture.
- You can substitute cacao powder with unsweetened cocoa powder if preferred.
- For added crunch, consider folding in chopped nuts or seeds.
