These cookies are my favorites.
The original version is loaded with a bunch of butter and eggs. I veganized them by cutting half of the amount of butter and substituting the eggs with an egg replacer.
I was nervous if they would still have the same consistency and flavor and was so happy that it worked. I am sharing this special recipe with you, but please, if you make these cookies, give me a shout out or tag me with your creation.
