Notes

SUBSTITUTION NOTES:
* If using Applesauce in place of Eggs, be sure to add in ½ Teaspoon Baking Powder to the Flour Mixture.

* When using a Butter or Egg Alternative, we highly recommend chilling your cookie dough at least ½ hour before baking. This will prevent them from flattening out.

** When using a Butter alternative (such as Miokos, Melt, or Smart Balance), you may want to reduce the recipe amount to ¾ cup. If you don't, and you find that your cookies are flattening out, just add ¼ cup flour to the mixture to stiffen the dough.
