Question 1

Can I make the dough ahead?

Accepted Answer

Sure. Wrap the dough tightly and chill for up to 48 hours. If it becomes very firm, let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before scooping.

Question 2

What if I don’t have vegan butter?

Accepted Answer

Coconut oil can work, but choose refined to avoid coconut flavor. Use it softened, not melted, and expect slightly crisper edges.

Question 3

How do I keep the cookies extra soft?

Accepted Answer

Bake on the lower end of the time range and store in an airtight container as soon as they’re cool. Adding a small piece of bread to the container helps maintain moisture.

Question 4

Are these safe for nut allergies?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as long as you use a nut-free plant milk (like oat or soy) and check your vegan butter brand. Always read labels if allergies are a concern.

Question 5

Can I add raisins or chocolate chips?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Fold in up to 3/4 cup of add-ins. Keep pieces small to maintain the cookie’s tender texture.
