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
Store this soft almond flour cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 1 week. For longer storage, wrap individual portions tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
