Whether you’re rushing out the door or enjoying a leisurely morning, these cookies are a satisfying choice that will keep you energized throughout the day.

Tips for Success Gluten-Free Breakfast Cookies

• Use Fresh Ingredients: Ensure your nuts, dried fruit, and other add-ins are fresh for the best flavor and texture.
• Customize to Taste: Feel free to experiment with different add-ins like seeds, coconut flakes, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top for added flavor.
• Make it Vegan: Substitute the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water) to make the recipe vegan.
• Watch the Baking Time: Keep an eye on the cookies during baking. Gluten-free cookies can sometimes brown quickly, so pull them out as soon as the edges are golden.
• Cool Completely: Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before storing to maintain their texture and prevent them from becoming too soft.
• Batch Baking: These cookies freeze well, so consider making a double batch and storing some in the freezer for quick breakfasts during busy mornings.
• Consistency Matters: If your dough feels too dry, add a tablespoon of water or milk (dairy or non-dairy) to achieve the right consistency. If it’s too wet, a little extra almond flour can help.
• Portion Control: Use an ice cream scoop or tablespoon to ensure evenly sized cookies, which will help them bake evenly.
• Avoid Overmixing: When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can result in dense cookies.
• Storage Tips: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds to enjoy them warm.
