Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can I prepare these cookies ahead of time?

Yes, they stay fresh for about 3 to 4 days when stored in an airtight container. Reheat them in the oven for a few minutes before serving to enjoy them warm.

→ Which plant-based yogurt works best?

Soy yogurt is a great option, but any plant-based yogurt would work. Just ensure you use the same amount to keep a good texture.

→ Is it possible to mix the tomatoes and peppers together?

Of course! Combining both gives you even more flavor variety. Just stick to the total specified amount of marinated ingredients to maintain the right consistency.

→ How do I know when they're ready to take out of the oven?

Look for a light golden color on top and a firm texture when touched. Usually, 15 to 20 minutes of baking gives the perfect result.

→ Can I swap almond flour for something else?

Sure, hazelnut or cashew flour makes excellent substitutes. Each will give its unique nuttiness to the cookies.
