Adjust sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet cookie, reduce the amount of coconut sugar. You can even substitute it with another natural sweetener like maple syrup.
Get creative with spices: Add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger for a warm and comforting twist.
Make them mini: Roll the dough into smaller balls for bite-sized cookies. This is perfect for parties or snacks.
Freeze for later: You can freeze the cookie dough balls before baking for a quick and easy treat on a busy day. Just bake them from frozen, adding a couple of minutes to the baking time.
