Frequently Asked Questions

What is the secret to gluten free cookies?

The key to gluten free cookies is finding the right flour blend, usually a combination of almond flour, rice flour, or other gluten free options. You also need a binding agent, like xanthan gum or psyllium husk, to mimic the elasticity of gluten and prevent your cookies from being too crumbly.

How to make gluten free cookie dough more moist?

To make gluten free cookie dough more moist, try adding more fat, like coconut oil or almond butter, or incorporating moisture retaining ingredients such as applesauce. Additionally, chilling the dough before baking can help improve texture and prevent spreading.

How to convert a regular cookie recipe to gluten free?

To convert a regular cookie recipe to gluten free, simply replace the all purpose flour with a gluten free flour blend that contains xanthan gum or guar gum. Adjust the amount of liquid and fats as needed to achieve the desired consistency, since gluten-free doughs can be drier than traditional ones.

What happens when you use gluten free flour in cookies?

Using gluten free flour in cookies changes the structure and texture. Without gluten, cookies may be denser or more crumbly. To compensate, add a binding agent (like xanthan gum) and adjust the moisture level by adding extra fat or liquid to achieve the right consistency.
