Brown Butter-Cassava Flour Snickerdoodle Cookies
"Delicious and gluten-free!" — Sophia Terrazas-Chadwick
Gluten-Free Sugar Cookies
"Excellent cookie... They don't break apart nor do they bend once cooled so they were ideal for decorating. I left them covered with cheesecloth on the counter overnight and decorated the next day and packaged once the icing dried. They make great gift cookies. Thank you for sharing this recipe." — Buckwheat Queen
Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
"These cookies are delicious and I can't really tell that they are gluten-free. Baked beautifully! I also used some butterscotch chips. Thanks!" — Zosgood
Gluten-Free Double Chocolate Cookies
"These are the best gluten-free cookies I have ever made. The only changes I made were I used 1 c. of Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 flour instead of the four different flours in the recipe (omit the xanthan gum since Bob's already has it) and used dark chocolate chips. The flavor is incredible and the texture is spot on! Highly recommend!" — KW

Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
"Divine! These are the best peanut butter cookies! My mom can't get enough of these either. One thing I would make note of is that this recipe doesn't make very much. I highly recommend doubling the amounts." — Java_Girl
Meringue Cookies
"Easily best cookies I’ve ever had. My 10 year old cousins came up from Florida to Baltimore last month. We hadn’t seen them in 3 years, as they live so far away. They made me signs about the cookies I made from when they were 7 years old. I had to make them, and my cousins were so happy. 100 percent recommend." — Goldenfood
Simple Gluten-Free Snickerdoodle Cookies
"This recipe turned out really well! A very light soft cookie with a bit of toasty on the outside! It's my first time making Snickerdoodle cookies and heard to call of cream of tartar not being present, did my research and added 1/4 tsp. Not sure if it made a difference but my cookies are checking the traditional box, light and delicious!" — Angela Sackett Superhotmama
Gluten-Free Toll House Cookies
"These were a bit heavier than a traditional chocolate chip cookie, almost cake-like. They remained puffy instead of spreading out flat. Thank you for the recipe." — Buckwheat Queen
Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
"Delicious! My family (with 4 kids) always eats all of them within an hour or two! We hardly ever cook gluten-free, but I had almond flour so I decided to try it. My husband told me to buy more almond flour, because these are so delicious. I used regular sugar and followed the recipe exactly." — LivinginJapan
Gluten-Free Gingersnap Cookies
"These were delicious! They turned out great and I'll be making these again." — Kate
Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Cookies
"These have become my go-to for gluten-free cookies. My sister has celiac and I LOVE peanut butter, so this is perfect because I think the absence of flour (even GF flour) makes the peanut butter stand out more. I really like it with the modification of 1/2 white 1/2 brown sugar and adding a pinch of baking powder." — 88keys4god
Gluten-Free Magic Cookie Bars
"Wow! Amazing! Dessert can be delicious without the gluten! Because several others had mentioned it was sticky, I spread butter in the bottom of my stoneware jelly pan and no problems. This was my first try at gluten free and it was a success! I made these for a friend who is gluten free, but my son ended up eating half of them! Thank you, Jewel! I will make these again!" — Momof3
Flourless Fudge Cookies
"Loved these. Made them for a tailgate and they were a big hit with the college crowd. They held together well. Crispy on the outside and chewy chocolate on the inside. I cheated and used egg whites from a carton, no problem. I thought they tasted better on the day after I made them." — Sue
Perfect Cashew and Peanut Butter Gluten-free Cookies
"I have just been diagnosed myself gluten-free lifestyle, so needless to say..I am experimenting. I was so amazed at how these tasted. This was a pleasure to bake and eat. I did substitute butter instead of margarine and used 1/2 the corn flour mixture and substituted it w/ rice flour instead for the remaining half. Excellent, thanks!" — Rev. Michaela
