Frequently Asked Questions
Why reduce oven temp for honey?▼
Honey and maple syrup caramelize (burn) faster than sugar. Lowering the oven by 25°F helps prevent the outside from burning before the inside is done.
Can I swap brown and white sugar?▼
Yes, 1:1. However, brown sugar adds moisture and a chewiness to cookies, while white sugar makes them crispier. The flavor will also change slightly.
What about baking with Stevia?▼
Stevia is much sweeter than sugar but lacks bulk. You often need to add a bulking agent (like applesauce or yogurt) to make up for the lost volume in the batter.
