Tips for Making Gluten-Free Cookies
- Measure flour correctly. Ideally weigh the ingredients, but if you can’t, spoon and level for best results.
- Chill the dough when called for and even when it’s not. It hardly ever hurts to chill the dough.
- Use room temperature ingredients when called for. It helps mix the ingredients together better. A cold egg added to room temp butter will change the butter temperature, when you worked so hard to get it room temp.
Best Gluten-Free Flour Blends
When it comes to baking that’s gluten-free, we love to use Bob’s Red Mill. There are a few brands on the market including King Arthur’s 1:1 Baking Flour, that will work. It’s all up to your personal preference.
