After the cookies have cooled completely, place them in an airtight container. This will help prevent moisture and air from getting in and potentially making the cookies stale.
Replace granulated sugar with a sugar substitute like stevia, erythritol, or monk fruit sweetener. These alternatives provide sweetness without spiking blood sugar levels.
Replace all-purpose flour with almond flour, coconut flour, or a blend of whole wheat flour and oat flour. These options have a lower glycemic index and are higher in fiber.
