Gluten Free Cookies

Gluten free cookies are made without wheat, barley, or rye, the grains that contain gluten. Instead, they rely on flours like almond flour, oat flour (certified gluten free), rice flour, or a ready-made gluten free flour blend. Because gluten is what gives regular dough its stretch and structure, gluten free cookies need a little help, usually from xanthan gum, an extra egg yolk, or a short rest in the fridge so the flour can fully hydrate. That resting step is one of the easiest ways to avoid the gritty texture people often associate with gluten free baking.

If you’re baking for someone with celiac disease, check that every ingredient is labeled gluten free, including oats, baking powder, and chocolate chips, and clean your tools and surfaces to prevent cross-contamination.

To put these tips into practice, start with our gluten free chocolate chip cookie recipe and gluten free sugar cookie recipe. You’ll also find classic favorites like the Nestle chocolate chip cookie recipe, a buttery spritz cookie recipe, an embossed springerle cookie recipe, a Quaker oatmeal cookie recipe, a badam cookies recipe, and a lactation cookies recipe for new moms, each with clear, step-by-step instructions.
