Flavor Boost: For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of sea salt to the cookie mixture.
Storing: These cookies store well in an airtight container for up to a week. They can also be frozen and enjoyed later.
Vegan Version: If opting for the vegan version with maple syrup and a flax egg, the cookies might be slightly softer but will be equally delicious.
