❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Gluten Free Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

1. Can I make these cookies dairy free?

Yes, you can substitute the butter with a dairy free butter alternative. Just make sure it is a stick style butter substitute for best texture. The cookies will still be soft and delicious.

2. Why did my cookies turn out dry?

Overbaking is the most common reason for dry cookies. Remove them from the oven when the edges are golden but the centers still look slightly soft. They will continue to set as they cool. Also, make sure you measure your flour correctly by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it off.

3. Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?

Rolled oats are best for this recipe because they give the cookies a hearty, chewy texture. Quick oats will work, but they will produce a softer, less textured cookie.

4. How should I store these gluten free oatmeal raisin cookies?

Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the baked cookies for up to 3 months. Just thaw them at room temperature before serving.

5. Can I freeze the cookie dough?

Yes, you can freeze the dough. Scoop the dough into balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze until solid, then transfer the dough balls to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding 2-3 minutes to the bake time.
