FAQs
Can I use regular flour instead of gluten-free flour?
No, this recipe is specifically designed for gluten-free flour. Regular flour contains gluten which will change the texture and rise of the cookies.
How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
The cookies are done when the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them after 10 minutes to avoid overbaking.
Can I make these cookies vegan?
Yes! You can substitute the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water) and use vegan butter for a dairy-free option.
