Let's make gluten-free stress free together! Post navigationHow do you make gluten free cookies moist?An extra egg or yolk can help improve structure and add moisture. Add ¼ teaspoon of xanthan gum to each cup of gluten free flour for structure and freshness. Let batter or dough sit for up to 30 minutes before baking to absorb liquid and avoid a gritty texture.
Can I substitute water for milk in peanut butter cookies?Water (in a pinch, but not recommended): Substituting water vs milk in baking is risky: water can alter the texture of your baked good. If it's all you have, add add 1 tablespoon melted butter per 1 cup water to add fat so that it resembles milk.
What makes cookies stay soft and chewy?Baking at 375 degrees F as opposed to a lower temperature will help cookies stay soft: they'll bake faster which means they aren't in the hot, drying air of the oven too long. Pull the cookie sheet out of the oven when the cookies are just set: underbaking is better than overbaking.
Which ingredient makes cookies moist and tender?Add Molasses or Honey Another way to add more moisture to your cookies is incorporate a tablespoon of molasses into a standard-sized cookie recipe. Don't use any more than a tablespoon, because it will make your cookies very sweet and runny. One tablespoon is just enough.
