Preparation
Chef’s notes
Recipe adapted from Recipe Girl.
Make it gluten-free:
Be sure to use certified gluten-free oats.
Make it vegan/egg free:
Commenters report that flax eggs work fairly well (you might need to press the cookies down into a cookie-like shape before baking, and they might need a couple more minutes in the oven). To make it vegan, also use coconut oil instead of butter, and make sure to choose vegan chocolate chips and chocolate candies.
Make it dairy free:
Use coconut oil instead of butter.
Make it nut free:
Sunflower seed butter works well. If you’re only avoiding peanuts, almond butter will work, too.
