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.

OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS:
1 Cup Chopped Nuts
1 Cup Shredded Coconut
1 Cup Chocolate Chips
1 Cup Craisins (in place of Raisins)
