All the pieces you’ll have to make the most effective magic cookies

These infants are known as “magic cookies” due to the unbelievable texture and the entire great mix-ins we’ll be including proper to the batter. Right here’s what you’ll have to make them:

• Coconut oil: melted coconut oil offers the cookies moisture and a bit enhance of coconut taste. No sweetened condensed milk in right here, which is a standard ingredient in different magic cookie bars and cookies.
• Brown sugar: we’re utilizing all darkish brown sugar (no white sugar) in these cookies for that wealthy molasses taste. It additionally makes the cookies additional chewy!
• Eggs: you’ll want 1 egg and 1 egg yolk to assist the cookies bake correctly.

The choices are actually infinite!

Can I make them gluten free or vegan?

Please observe that I’ve not examined this magic cookie recipe utilizing a gluten-free flour or flax eggs, so I can’t be certain how they’ll end up. Be at liberty to make them dairy free by merely swapping the butterscotch chips for dairy free chocolate chips.

I might not suggest utilizing metal minimize oats as they’re much tougher and won’t give the cookies that chewy issue that rolled oats will!
