❓ Q & A
Q: Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour?

Q: My dough is sticky—what should I do?
A: Chill the dough for 10 minutes or lightly oil your hands.
Q: Can I air-fry these?
A: Yes! Air-fry at 170°C (340°F) for 10–12 minutes, checking early.
Q: Can I store leftovers?
A: Refrigerate up to 3 days. Reheat in oven or air fryer for best texture.
Q: Can I make them cheese-free?
