FAQs

Q: Can I use low-fat cottage cheese?
A: Yes, but cookies may be less rich and a bit drier. You can add a tablespoon of milk if dough seems stiff.

Q: Can I use quick oats instead of old fashioned oats?
A: You can, but the texture will be softer. Old fashioned oats give a chewier bite.

Q: Do I need to chill the dough?
A: No. This recipe bakes well right after mixing, but chilling for 30 minutes can help maintain shape.

Q: Can I omit the nuts or coconut for allergies?
A: Yes. Leave them out or replace with seeds like sunflower or pumpkin if tolerated.
