Whether you’re avoiding gluten due to dietary restrictions or simply exploring new ways to enjoy sweet treats, these nine recipes are guaranteed to satisfy your cravings.

Flour for Gluten-Free Cookies Tips

• Most cookie recipes can easily be adapted to be gluten-free by substituting traditional all-purpose flour with gluten-free all-purpose (GF AP) flour. GF AP flour is a carefully crafted blend of gluten-free ingredients such as rice flour, tapioca starch, potato starch, and xanthan gum, which mimic the structure and texture of wheat-based flour.
• I buy my gluten-free flour on Thrive Market for the best prices. Some reliable brands for gluten-free baking include Namaste Foods, Bob’s Red Mill, and King Arthur Baking Company. These brands provide consistent results and are widely available.
• It’s important to note that almond flour is not a 1:1 substitute for all-purpose flour. Almond flour has a completely different texture, fat content, and absorbency, so recipes using it require specific adjustments to work. If you’d like to bake with almond flour, look for recipes specifically developed for it, like some of the delicious options listed in this roundup.
• Also, check each individual ingredient for a gluten-free designation. Gluten is sometimes used as an addative in things like vanilla extract, so if this is an allergy concern, check each ingredient.

Each recipe below is easy to make, flavorful, and free of gluten – proving that you don’t need traditional flour to create irresistible cookies. Enjoy!
