Are Cookies Gluten-Free? Navigating the Sweet World of Dietary Needs at bake the Cookie Shoppe

Greetings, sweet enthusiasts and health-conscious friends! Today at bake the Cookie Shoppe, we're tackling a question that's as pertinent as it is tasty: Are cookies gluten-free? As we explore the crumbly corners of this query, we'll also share exciting news about our journey towards introducing gluten-free options for our beloved customers.

Understanding Gluten in Cookies

Before we can answer whether cookies are gluten-free, let's knead through what gluten actually is. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. It's what gives dough its elasticity and cookies their chewy or crispy texture. Traditionally, most cookies are made using wheat flour, which means they naturally contain gluten.

The Quest for Gluten-Free Cookies

The good news for those avoiding gluten is that not all cookies are off the table! Gluten-free cookies are indeed a delightful reality. They are made using alternative flours and grains that do not contain gluten, such as:

• Almond flour
• Rice flour
• Coconut flour
• Oat flour (make sure it's labeled gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination)

These ingredients allow bakers to recreate the beloved textures and tastes of traditional cookies, all without a speck of gluten.
