“These gluten-free cookies are one of the easiest bakes we come back to again and again.
Living with coeliac disease means finding reliable everyday recipes really matters, and cookies are something that should just work. This recipe keeps things simple while still giving you that soft centre and lightly crisp edge you’d expect from a good homemade cookie.
We make these when we want something quick, whether it’s for lunchboxes, an afternoon snack, or just something sweet with a cup of tea. The dough is easy to handle, the results are consistent, and they’re easy to adapt depending on what you have at home.
