Notes
Ingredient Substitution Notes
- Salted butter. unsalted butter & canola oil are good substitutes.
- Sour cream. greek yogurt works well in place of sour cream.
- Granulated sugar. white granulated sugar or organic cane sugar are the best choices for this recipe.
- Light Brown Sugar. dark brown sugar is delicious & imparts a slightly more pronounced molasses flavor.
- All-purpose flour. You can substitute up to half of the all purpose flour with white whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour.
- Sea salt. If you use regular table salt I recommend cutting the amount in half.
- Chocolate chips. Choose your favorite - we prefer semisweet but milk or dark are both delicious as well.
