I've given up on packaged gluten free flours, I never have luck with them. I find that apart from almond meal, buckwheat and rice flour + a pinch of xanthan gum works well, mostly for muffins and cakes, but i seem to remember cookies.. :s in muffins 1 cup rice and 1 cup buckwheat works wonders - particularly in banana muffins. </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/cookies-went-flat-when-using-gluten-free-flour#post-1231 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 10:46:24 +0000 bucket 1231@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Hi Everyone<br /> For the first time I tried making my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe with Bob's gluten free flour. I followed my recipe but replaced the flour with Bob's gluten free and added the Xanthan gum as suggested on Bob's bag. Well my cookies turned out paper thin. They just kept spreading. What did I do wrong? They tasted great and were very crispy but I'm trying to figure out why they went so thin. The batter was normal and not thin.<br /> Thanks for any insight you may share </p>
