Baking gluten free takes some trial and error in the beginning. However, once you find a great gluten free all purpose flour and learn a few tips and tricks you will be baking amazing gluten free cookies in no time.

Before you get started the most important thing is making sure you have the right flour. No two gluten free flours are created equal and finding the right one is like finding a gem.

Which gluten free flour is best for baking?

For about 8 years I strictly used my own personal gluten free flour blend. It’s cheap, easy to make and has fabulous results. This blend does not contain xanthan gum though, so always remember as a rule of thumb to add 1 tsp of xanthan gum for every 2 cups of flour.

The best pre-made gluten free flour blend is Better Batter. I started buying their flour last year because they launched an Artisan Blend that is rice free and gum free. Immediately I was hooked. It worked better than my blend and it was easier to use and has more nutritional ingredients.

I started buying their regular all purpose blend too because it works so well. If you want to try Better Batter you can use the code: livingfreelygf for 30% off your purchase and livingfreelygf10 for 10% off of sale items.

Another important tip for baking with gluten free flour is making sure you are measuring it correctly. Always spoon your flour into the measuring cup and level off the top. Click HERE for a quick video on how to do that.

Is gluten free flour OK for cookies?

If you are using a cup for cup flour like Better Batter then that should work just fine. Some recipes can be a little complex and if a recipe calls for something like almond flour along with other flours and starches it is not recommended to use gluten free flour in the place of those.

How do you make gluten-free cookies moist?

Making sure you have the correct liquid ratio in your mixture and measuring your flour the way in the video above will help to ensure that your cookies stay moist.

Remember that you should never over beat your eggs and butter. Over beating them will cause your cookies to go flat and be super crispy.
