Tips & Tricks

The key to excellent gluten-free baking results is multi-fold. One solution is not to overbake. When desserts are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest before transferring them to a wire rack. Secondly, measuring your baking ingredients by scooping and leveling is essential. This ensures you don’t add too much flour. Lastly, use the best ingredients, such as high-quality chocolate and time-tested gluten-free flour blends. You can freeze your flour so it stays fresh!
When they are done, the edges of the cookies will be light golden. The cookies will firm up as they cool. Watch your desserts carefully as you bake, keeping a close eye. It’s okay if they are still soft in the center, as they will keep cooking after they come out of the oven. Let them rest for at least 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack for further cooling.
