How do you make gluten-free cookies?
Gluten-free cookies can be made with just about any traditional recipe by simply swapping the flour that you use. It’s best to use gluten-free all-purpose flour.
These cookies will be made with a Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour. This needs to be a 1:1 ratio with regular flour. We use King Arthur Gluten-Free Flour; however, others like Bob’s Red Mill and Cup 4 Cup will work wonderfully too.
If you use any traditional recipe, this simple swap will almost always work.
I’ve always made gluten-free cookies this way because I like simple and do not like using several different types of flour.
In saying that, some of these recipes do include multiple flours as well. This list features a wide variety.
As always, check all ingredients first to be sure you are using all gluten-free ingredients.

- Use Chilled Dough – It’s always best to chill the dough before using, this will help the cookies keep shape and make them easier to handle when shaping them.
