Nutrition Information
Room Temperature Matters
Always bring your eggs and dairy-free alternatives to room temperature before mixing. Cold ingredients create lumps and uneven texture in gluten-free batters.
Don't Skip the Resting Step
Gluten-free flours like almond flour absorb moisture slowly. Let your batter rest for 5–10 minutes before baking for a significantly better crumb structure.
Storage Instructions for Soft Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies
Airtight container at room temp for 4 days.
Soft Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies Troubleshooting
Why did my gluten-free cookies spread into a flat puddle?
Almond flour does not absorb fats quickly, making dough spread if warm.
Mandatory chilling: place the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
