Notes
- Soften your butter. Take the butter out of the refrigerator and allow to soften on the counter for 10-15 minutes.
- It's super important to measure the gluten-free flour correctly. Use a measuring cup made for dry ingredients (not a Pyrex liquid measuring cup), and use the spoon and level method.
- Always use a greased cookie scoop. I use a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop. It was a game-changer for me!
- I also like to use Reynolds Kitchens Cookie Baking Sheets. It has a smart grid that makes it super easy to line up your cookies on your baking sheet. I buy it at Walmart.
- To store: Place the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
- To freeze: Place the cookies in a single layer on a lined baking sheet until solid, about 1-2 hours. Transfer to an airtight container or Ziplock bag to store for up to 1 month.
