I like to use organic products and free range eggs

dry ingredient:

can be all unbleached flour,whole wheat flour or half of each. and if you avoid using too much flour, you can subsidies by ground rolled oat, coconut flour, rice flour, ground nut (almond, cashew, walnut*, pecan...), ground seed (sunflower seed, pumpkin seed*...)* might create bitterness flavour

and my new purchase Nutri Bullet mills all grain, nut, and seed perfectly like fine powder.

for extra information, when I combine some coconut flour, cookie become crispy.

sugar:

I like demerara dark brown sugar. and other option would be light brown sugar, cane sugar,

granulated sugar... and when you use all granulated sugar, cookie tend to be sweeter, so, you

can reduce the amount of it.

baking powder:

I prefer to use aluminum free

because I use some espresso powder and coco powder, this cookie contain some caffeine,
I don't recommend giving too much to younger kids. Or some one intolerant of caffeine.

And at last, these cookies are better even the next day, it becomes moist.
So, you shouldn't eat all in one time!
