Notes

SUBSTITUTION NOTES:
* If using Applesauce in place of Eggs, be sure to add in 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder to the Flour Mixture.

* When using a Butter or Egg Alternative, we highly recommend chilling your cookie dough at least 1/2 hour before baking. This will prevent them from flattening out.

** You can use any combination of Butter (Butter Alternative) and/or Shortening as long as it measures out to 1 Cup.
