  • Use a fork to flatten each cookie to a 1 3/4-inch diameter by gently pressing in a crisscross pattern. Bake the cookies one sheet at a time until just set, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes. Repeat with the remaining cookies.

Tips

Equipment: Parchment paper

My disappointment is immeasurable and I might go so far as to say that my day is ruined. When one bakes cookies it is a labor of love. There is NO love in this recipe. These "cookies" are soft as advertised I will grant and passably chewy. HOWEVER when I read that these are the perfect gift for a holiday party or cookie exchange I couldn't believe my eyes. If these monstrosities were unloaded upon me at any party I would make a scene to end all scene-making. Please if you have a heart buy gluten-free flour and make a real god damned cookie amen. I hope the lord is watching and I hope you can learn from your mistakes. Two stars instead of one because while I am not happy about the results I do now have what seem to be cookies and really that is all this recipe has to offer. May you find your way and may this recipe find its way to another poor soul. Read More

Forget 3 ingredient chocolate chip cookies -- these 5 ingredient ones are just as easy AND they have chocolate chips! They'd be perfect for a cookie swap especially because they're gluten-free. Read More
