Notes
Measure Accurately: Gluten-free baking can be tricky; measuring your ingredients accurately will ensure better results. Use High-Quality Ingredients: Opt for a reliable gluten free flour blend for consistent texture. Don’t Skip the Chill: Chilling the gingerbread cookies’ dough for about 30 minutes will make rolling easier. Allow Cookies to Cool Completely: This helps in achieving a nice, crispy exterior.
