Notes

If you're missing ingredients, substitutions like margarine or plant-based butter work well for a vegan version, and regular granulated sugar can replace caster sugar. Toasting coconut can enhance flavor, and you can add chopped nuts for extra texture. For storage, keep these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for future cravings. Enjoy your baking!
