Notes/Substitutions:
- Pyure can be replaced with your favorite sugar replacement. You will need to use the equivalent of 1 cup of regular sugar. For example, if you prefer to use Swerve Sweetener or Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener you would use 1 cup in this recipe.
- Carbquik can be replaced with an equal amount of almond flour. Note that this will increase the fat and calories in the cookies, and they will be flatter than in the photos.
