Have you tried to make a gluten free recipe that just didn’t turn out as you planned? I certainly have! Gluten-free baking recipes are actually fairly more difficult to adapt since flours without gluten fall apart more easily. This is because gluten is a protein and helps to bind ingredients together – without it, the cookies crumble. Pun intended.
But don’t give up! Although these recipes take finessing, they’re worth it in the end.
