Tips
- You can sub an alternative sugar for the crust like stevia or coconut sugar.
- The icing is totally optional is you want to cut back on sugar content and these are just as delicious without it.
- We didn’t test these with GF flour, but it should work fine, the texture may just be a little less flaky.
- If you don’t have a food processor, you can cut in the butter with your hands or a pastry cutter.
