I made these cookies gluten-free by using gluten-free flour. They turned out great! They're just as delicious as the traditional version, but they're also safe for people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.

I made these cookies vegan by using plant-based butter and milk. They turned out perfectly! They're just as delicious as the traditional version, but they're also cruelty-free.

I made these cookies with whole wheat flour and honey instead of sugar. They turned out great! They're still sweet and delicious, but they're also a bit healthier.
