Emma Carlton
Can I use plain flour instead of cake flour? Or would I use self raising flour?
JURI
Hi Emma, you can use plain flour as well. I haven't used self-raising flour but it should work as well! I hope it helps!
Gill
Would applesauce work as a good substitute for the oil in this recipe, without losing the crunch?
JURI
Hi Gill, replacing oil with applesauce will make the texture more puffy than crunchy. I recommend replacing only half the amount first, and see how it goes!I hope it helps!
Gill
Many thanks, Juri, I'll try your suggestion.

Really delicious! Not too sweet and very crunchy.
I used 1/2c all purpose flour and 1/4c cacao powder.
Dough was a bit crumbly, so put in the fridge for ~30mins to firm up.
When rolling the dough it was a bit oily, possibly due to the almond flour? I was worried that it wouldn't bake right or taste too oily, but was very pleasantly surprised!
The cookie is just the perfect amount of sweet and even a little savory. Will definitely be baking these again and trying soon with a cup of coffee or tea 🙂

Thank Didi! I'm so happy to hear your cookies turn out good! Now I crave for these cookies:)
