Hi, can I use normal flour instead of almond? Thanks

Amazing!!! Flavor is so delicious. Ratios of everything are fantastic. This is the first recipe of yours I've tried, and usually vegan, paleo, gf, etc recipes tend to come out a bit off for me. But these are perfect. And when it says it makes twelve, it ACTUALLY makes 12, whereas I find with many blogs it says it makes 12 but really it makes 30... I will definitely be making more of your recipes!! Thanks so much 🙂
