Hi Dawn! I want to make these cookies for a vegan friend and have everything on hand except the almond meal and oat flour. My friend is not gluten free, so could I just substitute 1 cup of whole wheat flour? Thanks!
Holly says
Hi Dawn!
I’d like to know if I can substitute thw whole wheat flour as well. I’m finding it hard to find
almond meal.
Thanks!

I made this cookies for the Superbowl party and they were a hit. Everyone loved them and couldn’t believe they tasted that great, even my picky child ate them up. Thank you, Dawn!

I’d like to make this, but every time I go to print a recipe …it’s partially covered with lines or overprinted words etc?
This happens often so I save recipes to email but then forget about them.

Hey Debbie! Thanks for the heads up about this! I’m talking to my web manager to fix this & make recipe print cleaner. For now, I did change the Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie image & it’s printing better! xx
DJ Blatner, RDN says
Ok! All the recipe printing is fixed! Thanks again for the heads up! xx DJB
Debbie Gertner says
Unfortunately the printing problem remains the same. Once I select print button from your page, all the lines and overwriting of words appear on the recipe.

Oh hey! I just tested it & it’s working. You may have to clear your cookies/cache to see the updates. I can email you a PDF so you can see what they now look like, thanks to you! xx

Hi there! Look for “almond flour” in the baking section of your grocery store or it is available online like from Amazon or Bobs Red Mill. I have not made these cookies with whole wheat flour. It likely will work, but they may just be a little drier. Another swap you can try is blending rolled oats into a flour texture. xx
