How do you make gluten-free cookies less crumbly?

Gluten-free baking can be challenging for newbies, but I've got you! But keep in mind, gluten-free baking will be always different from the original wheat recipes because they don't have gluten.

Here are some tips to make your cookies less crumbly:

  1. Use buckwheat flour. Buckwheat flour works wonderfully in many gluten-free recipes because it is sticky, so the batter will be less crumbly.
  2. Use maple syrup or agave. Traditional sugar is in powdered form, which is not an ideal consistency. Sure, it might work in some recipes, but for the best result, I suggest using maple syrup or agave.
  3. Use some type of binding ingredients, such as flax or chia egg. Soaking chia and flaxseed in the water will create gel-like consistency!
  4. You can use 1 tbsp of cornstarch, to make it softer and more combined.

These were some tips to make your gluten-free cookies a lot better. By choosing the right ingredients, you can create the best ever flourless cookies!

Can I freeze Christmas wreath cookies?

No, I don't recommend freezing Christmas wreath cookies. But you can freeze the dough easily for up to 2 months!

These Christmas wreath cookies are made very similar to cookies, so they won't be able to freeze. However, you can store them in the fridge for up to 10 days!

Can Ziploc bags be used for piping?

Yes, you can use a Ziploc bag for cookies, to create fun shapes. Simply add a nozzle inside the Ziploc back and cut it open at the top of the nozzle.

Important: Since the cookie batter is thicker, you will need to use some pressure to create fun shapes.
