Maybe you don&#8217;t have all of the exact ingredients you need, but you <em>need<\/em> cookies. Below you&#8217;ll find some substitutions and helpful modifications for cookies that I&#8217;ve used over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What goes into a cookie&#8230;usually<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cookies usually consist of the following ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Butter<\/li><li>Sugar (some combination of brown, white, and\/or natural sugars)<\/li><li>Eggs<\/li><li>Vanilla extract (or some other flavoring)<\/li><li>Flour<\/li><li>Baking soda (or baking powder for cookies with an airier finish)<\/li><li>Salt (for balance)<\/li><li>Add-ins (chocolate chips, nuts, candy, dried fruit, etc. aka the fun part)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Useful substitutions  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What happens when you want to make some cookies, but don&#8217;t have the ingredients you normally use? The following substitutions have come in handy more than a couple times for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>No vanilla extract? Use maple syrup instead! The flavor will be slightly different, but it adds a subtle maple flavor to cookies that&#8217;s delicious. 1 tsp of vanilla extract can be substituted for 1 tsp of maple syrup<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Out of baking soda? That\u2019s fine. You can substitute \u00bd teaspoon baking soda for 1 teaspoon baking powder<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Use margarine, lard or vegetable shortening in place of butter. You can also use mashed ripe avocados in place of butter. A 1:1 ratio will work perfectly.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>One large egg can be replaced with the following ingredients:<ul><li>\u00bc cup applesauce<\/li><li>1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water<\/li><li>3 tablespoons mayonnaise<\/li><li>\u00bd banana mashed + \u00bd teaspoons baking powder<\/li><li>\u00bc cup pureed silken tofu<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>No brown sugar? You use 1 cup of granulated sugar + 1 tablespoon of molasses to make your own. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/India-Tree-Dark-Muscovado-Sugar\/dp\/B001E5DZSO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Muscovado sugar<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Anthonys-Organic-Coconut-Non-GMO-Gluten\/dp\/B01N33WO1X\/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&amp;keywords=coconut+sugar&amp;qid=1618096024&amp;s=grocery&amp;sr=1-1-spons&amp;psc=1&amp;spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzM0lKQTFJV1hNOURWJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNjA0MjY3M1c4TE4xSzNYQVAwJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA2MzQ5MjRaWlJQTThXVFFTTSZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">coconut sugar<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Nova-Maple-Sugar-Grade-Pounds\/dp\/B01LWBX4CK\/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&amp;keywords=maple+sugar&amp;qid=1618096052&amp;s=grocery&amp;sr=1-1-spons&amp;psc=1&amp;spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExSTU2U0VIVUFYQURHJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMTg2MzkxMllXUTVNUFE3SkJEQSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNjY1NzQzSEJXS0JJS1YySDA1JndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">maple sugar<\/a> are also appropriate substitutes for brown sugar<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Suggested add-ins and modifications for cookies: <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilesouleats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_5746-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"inside dem cookies\" class=\"wp-image-1574\" width=\"546\" height=\"728\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes you want something besides a chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin cookie.
