  • Because these gluten-free cookies don't have any flour in them, they're going to be denser than one that does. However, coming out of the oven they're soft and delicious.
  • Once stored in the fridge they're still soft to bite into but a bit firmer than at room temperature.
  • Make sure to use runny nut butter to give the cookies the best texture. Extra cashew butter can be used if you don't have almond.
  • Allow cookies to cool completely before frosting. The frosting is THICK and the cookies are delicate.
