FAQs

Q: Are these cookies gluten free?
A: Yes. The recipe uses almond flour and no wheat, so they are gluten free.

Q: Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour?
A: You can, but regular flour changes texture and makes them not gluten free. Start with the same amount and watch the dough; you may need less liquid.

Q: Can I leave out the protein powder?
A: Yes. If you skip protein powder, add a bit more almond flour to keep the dough firm.

Q: Can I make the dough ahead?
A: Yes. Keep the dough in the fridge for one day, then bake. You can also freeze shaped dough balls.

Q: How do I know when they are done?
A: The edges should be light golden brown. Centers may seem soft but will set as they cool.
