FAQs
ANNONCE
1. Can I use regular sugar instead of icing sugar?
Yes, however, icing sugar gives a smoother texture to the cookies. If using regular sugar, your cookies may have a slightly grainy texture.
2. Is it necessary to use almond flour?
Almond flour adds a unique flavor and texture, but you can substitute it with another type of flour, like whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour, if needed.
3. Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough and keep it in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking. Just let it come to room temperature before shaping and baking.
