    You didn't press the batter down before sliding them into the oven. Your cookies will end up chewy when you leave the batter as-is.

    How can I make my cookies crunchy?
    Community Answer
    Adding more butter to your recipe, baking your cookies longer, and letting them cool on the baking sheet will help give you crunchier cookies.

  • Question
    I noticed that no yeast is mentioned. Why?

    Community Answer
    Cookies traditionally don't involve yeast because they are meant to be flat and crispy. Yeast is used mostly in breads and rising pastries to make them fluffy.

    I used tiger nut flour, dates, vanilla extract, oil, and melted coconut oil to do my cookies. They turned out soft instead of crunchy. What did I do wrong?
    Community Answer
    You have not baked them long enough for them to turn crispy. But at least they aren't burnt.

    Why do my cookies get soft in an airtight container?
    Community Answer
    The air that's in the airtight container will make them go soft after a few days.
