In reply to Miranda. Hi, Miranda! For cookies that don't spread enough, there are 2 common culprits: 1. Too Much Flour. Did you weigh your flour? If you scooped with your measuring cup instead, you can accidentally pack in too much flour. Even an extra 1-2 Tablespoons can make a difference in the spread of your cookies. I recommend weighing for best results, or the scoop and level method if you don't have a kitchen scale. 2. Dough That's Too Cold. If you've chilled the dough longer than 2 hours, you may need to let it come closer to room temperature before baking. Try pulling the cookie dough out 20-30 minutes before baking so that it can spread more in the oven. and a bonus thing to consider is Brand of Flour. Did you use a different brand of flour than I did? I use King Arthur Measure For Measure flour, but if you swapped in another 1:1 blend, like Bob's Red Mill or Cup4Cup, you may need to adjust the amount of flour, since each blend has a slightly different combination of starch and proteins. I'm cheering you on!

In reply to Amy. I tried this recipe and my cookies actually did not flatten-they stayed in a fuller shape. Anything I can do to fix this? I just baked a few tonight as a practice but I have a double batch of dough cooling in the fridge

By far the best GF cookies I’ve ever made! Thank you for this awesome recipe! Can I freeze the dough and bake them later? How would you go about doing that?

I’ve made a lot of gluten free chocolate chip cookies and haven’t been able to find a recipe I liked, until I’ve tried this one! I love how these cookies stay soft and they taste great. Thanks!

These were the first cookies I made after being diagnosed with celiac in 2021. They turned out delicious! I tried rolling them to be a bit taller than wide so they didn’t spread as much and that worked out really well. They stayed soft after a couple days and still had crispy edges. This is a great recipe
