For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of ground cloves to the batter. If you don't have shortening, you can substitute with softened butter or coconut oil, but the texture may slightly vary. These cookies freeze well! Store them in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Experiment with different types of nuts or add-ins like chocolate chips or dried cranberries.
