FAQ:
Can I use a different type of oil for these cookies? Yes, you can substitute vegetable oil with coconut oil, olive oil, or any other neutral-flavored oil. Each oil may slightly alter the flavor and texture, but it will still work well in the recipe.
Can I use orange extract instead of fresh orange juice and zest? Yes, you can replace the orange juice and zest with about 1 teaspoon of orange extract. However, the fresh zest adds a lovely aromatic element that enhances the flavor of the cookies.
Are these cookies suitable for vegans? Yes, this recipe is entirely vegan, as it does not include eggs or dairy. You can also use a plant-based sugar, like coconut sugar, for a fully vegan option.
Can I make these cookies gluten-free? Absolutely! Simply swap the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend, and make sure to use a suitable egg replacer (like a flax egg or chia egg) for the best results.
