1. Can I make these cookies without eggs?

Yes! You can replace eggs with applesauce (¼ cup per egg) or a flaxseed egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water, let sit for 5 minutes) . Both options keep the cookies soft and chewy.

2. What’s the best way to store leftover coffee cake cookies?

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days . For longer storage, freeze them in a ziplock bag and thaw as needed.

3. Can I freeze the dough for later use?

Absolutely! Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then, transfer the dough balls to a freezer-safe bag. When ready to bake, add an extra 1-2 minutes to the baking time.

4. How do I make the vanilla drizzle thicker or thinner?

For a thicker drizzle , add more powdered sugar. For a thinner consistency , mix in a little more milk. Adjust gradually to get the perfect texture.
