Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    Cooking Vegan? Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is vegan. If unsure about any ingredient or product, check with the manufacturer.
  • tip 2
    Look for vegan chocolate chips in the health food section of your grocery store. They may also be labeled as dairy and gluten free.
  • tip 3
    If your coconut oil has solidified, simply place the jar in a bowl of hot water. We used refined coconut oil for its neutral flavor, but if you love the flavor of coconut in your cookies, use virgin coconut oil.
