Tips for Paleo and Gluten Free Baking
Paleo and gluten free cookies can have a different texture than traditional cookies because they do not use regular wheat flour. Coconut flour absorbs a lot of moisture, while almond flour adds richness and a slightly nutty flavor.
Here are a few tips:
- Follow the recipe measurements closely, especially when using coconut flour.
- Let the cookies cool before moving them, since gluten free cookies can be softer when warm.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container.
- For a sweeter cookie, add a few extra chocolate chips or a drizzle of honey.
