FAQs

Can I use regular sugar instead of sugar alternatives?

Yes, you can replace the sugar alternatives with regular sugar in equal amounts, but this will change the recipe from sugar free to regular cookies.

Why is it important to use sugar substitutes that bake well?

Some sugar substitutes do not melt or caramelize the same way sugar does, which can affect texture and browning. Using a granular substitute designed for baking ensures the cookies have the right consistency and flavor.
