FAQs
Yes. If you swap out the butter for vegan butter and use an egg substitute like a flax egg you can make these cookies both vegan and dairy-free.
If you are wanting to add in more mix ins to this recipe I would recommend adding chopped almonds, or walnuts, or you could also add in dark chocolate chips.
