You can easily switch out the OREOs for other types of vegan cookies or add in nuts like walnuts or pecans. For an extra minty flavor, consider adding a few mint leaves or using more peppermint extract.
FAQs
Can I use regular chocolate chips instead of stevia-sweetened ones?
Yes, you can use regular chocolate chips if you don’t need a sugar-free option.
What can I use instead of flax eggs?
You can substitute with applesauce or mashed bananas, though this may slightly alter the flavor and texture.
How do I know when the cookies are done?
The cookies should look golden brown on top while the centers remain soft. They will firm up as they cool.
