The recipe call for a egg, which is easy to replace. To substitute egg in these cookies, do the following.
Soak one tablespoon of flaxseed powder in three tablespoons of lukewarm water. Stir it once and let it sit on the kitchen counter for 10-15 minutes. This mix will work as a substitute for egg in this recipe.
The recipe calls for coconut oil. Which is far healthier than butter. You will find different varieties of coconut oil
Refined coconut oil is typically cheaper and unlikely to have the true coconut flavor and smell. It falls short on nourishing qualities too.
Virgin coconut oil is an unrefined version with a lighter taste. Virgin coconut oil is deemed to be of higher quality than refined coconut oil and is said to be richer in antioxidants.
For baking I prefer virgin coconut oil. In my recipe. You will find it easily in grocery stores. Or sharing a link here too.
