FAQ (Questions and Answers)
Are these cookies suitable for people with food intolerances?
The recipe contains butter and eggs, so it is not suitable for those following a vegan diet or with intolerances to these ingredients. However, you can substitute the butter with a plant-based alternative and use an egg substitute to make the recipe more inclusive.
Can I freeze the coffee cookies?
Yes, you can freeze the coffee cookies! I recommend freezing them after baking and cooling. Place them in an airtight container or freezer bag, separating them with parchment paper to prevent sticking. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. To enjoy, just let them thaw at room temperature.
