Making A Regular Cookie Recipe Gluten Free
Sometimes it is very easy to make a gluten free. Other times it takes quite a bit of work.
Sometimes gluten free flour blends work fine and sometimes individual gluten free flours work better.
I have shared my thoughts on if you can use a gluten free flour blend in place of regular flour in a recipe.
For these gluten free cherry chocolate chip cookies I found that the individual flours work the best. Yes, you can use a blend, but the individual flours will give you the best result.
The gluten free flours will give you a cookie so good that no one will know that it is gluten free.
