Tips for making low-carb cookies
As low-carb cookies generally don’t use wheat flours with gluten, they can tend to fall apart if not baked and handled properly.
Cookies made without gluten can be softer when they come out of the oven so always let them cool for just a bit longer. The little bit of waiting is worth it thought! Your cookies will have better texture and taste at the end of it.

I was asked to make sugar free cookies for my great grandson so he will have something at his mother’s wedding next year. I just made the brownies, choc. chip, peanut butter and oatmeal cookies to taste test at his birthday party this Saturday. I also want to make the thumbprint raspberry ones but haven’t gotten to it yet. What I have tasted so far are very good. Thanks for the recipes.
