Tips For Baking Gluten-Free Cookies

  • Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy clean-up and to prevent cookies from sticking to the pan.
  • Use an ice cream scoop to easily measure out cookie dough
  • Use vegetable shortening or Smart Balance butter in place of butter in recipes for a dairy-free version
  • Swap cow’s milk with oat, coconut or a nut milk for a dairy free alternative
  • Don’t feel obligated to eat every cookie. Freeze and enjoy in the next few months (cookies can be frozen for up to 3 months). Use these free Printable Freezer Labels to easily find cookies in your freezer. These labels are also fantastic to place on the package if gifting cookies this season.
