Add ¼ teaspoon of xanthan gum to each cup of gluten free flour for structure and freshness. Let batter or dough sit for up to 30 minutes before baking to absorb liquid and avoid a gritty texture.
Why are my vegan cookies not spreading?You changed the recipe
If you add too much flour, your cookies won't spread as much. If your cookies have more brown sugar than white sugar, they won't spread as much. It's a careful balance. So make sure you follow the exact measurements and instructions in the recipe at least once.
What makes a chewy cookie chewy?What's in a Chewy Cookie? Well, the long and short answer to chewy cookies is it's all about the moisture content. Cookies that are dense and chewy incorporate more moisture into the batter. This can be achieved by making substitutions with ingredients, or even just changing the way you incorporate certain ingredients.
Do you have to put eggs in peanut butter cookies?Many old-fashioned peanut butter cookie recipes use eggs, peanut butter, and sugar—but no flour. (Try my Keto Peanut Butter Cookies for a flourless option!) To make no egg peanut butter cookies instead, flour is required, along with other classic ingredients like butter, leavening agents, and a dash of milk.
