Flourless Cookies: The Best Recipes for Gluten-Free Treats

If you are on a keto diet or avoiding gluten, then it might sound like a lost case for you to indulge in cookies anymore! It can be sad if you have to give up on your favorite thing one fine day! But there is something you can definitely do to deal with the situation. At least we have got solutions for you so you are not deprived of the presence of cookies in your life! Here are some flourless cookies baking tips that you can learn before you get started with the preparations. And there are a bunch of recipes waiting for you as well. Let's get started, then!

How can you make the best gluten-free cookies for you?

1. First, you have to make sure that all the ingredients are gluten-free!

There are several processed food containers and readymade mixes which are used for making cookies! Although these brands and companies vouch for their products to be gluten-free, some items can easily slip in slight gluten in your diet here and there, and you will end up breaking your cycle unconsciously. 

Even though the label states that the product is gluten-free, you are expected to still go through the ingredients column first and find out for sure! Do not blindly trust anyone when you are subjecting your body to the process of ketosis. It is always better that you prepare all the ingredients at home as much as you can so you can monitor the composition of the cookies.

2. Make sure you use a binding agent while preparing the gluten-free cookies

The cookie mix can turn out to be loose, and the cookies are brittle and dry in the absence of gluten! You need a gel-like substance to bind the ingredients together! Hence you must add some binding agent into the mixture, which can be xanthan gum, flax, and so on. A one-fourth teaspoon is enough to do the job!

3. There is no need for you to worry about mixing the dough for too long

Unlike in normal cookie dough where if you over-mix or overwork the dough, the cookies can turn out to be hard and dry; there are no such issues in a gluten-free mixture. Over-mixing often activates the gluten, and that makes your cookies tough, which is undesirable in the case of the former!

In fact, you are expected to mix the cookie dough for longer than usual to enable it to bind well when the gluten-free mixture is concerned.

4. Chill the dough

It is a universal rule when it comes to baking cookies, whether you bake gluten-free cookies or regular ones! Chilling the dough is required so that the dough does not spread on the surface of the plate! Cookies will lose their shape, turn out flat, and be overbaked if that happens. Cooling, on the other hand, tightens the dough and gives it a sense of firmness.

5. Scoop the dough slightly smaller than what you do for regular cookies

Gluten-free cookies often tend to fall apart! If you wish to prevent that situation from occurring, then you are expected to scoop out small dough! The cookies are usually brittle, and if you make them large, then chances are all might break and fall apart soon.

So if you use three tablespoons of dough for each cookie, make it two when baking gluten-free ones! Smaller cookies are easier to handle.

Let us now find out about some gluten-free and flourless cookie options!
