Dear Elana,
After having spent most of my earnings at O! Pizza buying your cookies, I have decided to make them myself. Your video is very helpful and I now have the confidence to attempt it!

I was discussing with a group of friends what our “last meal” would be. Mine was Chipotle Chicken!

hi,
I tested this recipe tonight, they came out great and delicious… For a GFCF like me, it’s more than perfect… Thank you so much !!!!

Jessica -Thank you so much for your feedback. I’m glad that your daughter liked the cookies and I will definitely keep rolling out the recipes! My family likes eating this way too –even the ones that aren’t on a GF diet.
Jessica says
Wow – Elana – I just made these. I ground the almonds myself in my Waring blender – it actually worked. I sifted it to make sure. Anyway – this is my first gluten-free cookie so I’m a bit elated. My 2 year old daughter scarfed a whole one and I know my husband will try to scarf the rest. Please keep these kinds of recipes coming. I don’t have celiac but feel this is a healthier lifestyle for my little family.

Hi Again M- I am using Borges brand grapeseed oil that I get at the local health food store. I haven’t found organic grapeseed oil yet. Have even looked at suppliers over seas.
I will find a good one online that I can recommend in the near future under the “purchase” section of the blog, since all the other main ingredients are listed there.
Thanks for another great question!

Thanks! Is there a brand of grapeseed oil that you recommend?
Elana says
Hi M in Boston- As you know I am up here in Boulder at 5,000 feet. I have friends and family in NY and California who are making these cookies without any changes and said they come out great. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi,
I was wondering about the question of altitude as well. I’m in California and I follow the recipe exactly, but find that the cookies come out super thin and too moist. I looked carefully at your video and my batter seems to be more moist than yours Alana.
All that said, the flavor of the cookies are terrific. Even my picky daughter likes them a lot. I need to fix the texture though. I will try to adjust the liquids and see what happens.
Thanks,
May

May,
Thanks for your comment. What brand of almond flour did you use? That can make all the difference in my recipes :-)

Would you prepare or bake these differently if at sea level (Boston)?
Norma P says
I had to throw away the cookies because they never hardened. The dough seemed too oily. I followed the video step by step and didn’t change any ingredient. I’m soooo frustrated!!!!!
queenS says
Only use half of the grape seed oil! They still taste delicious but aren’t too moist :)
Doris says
What is the Chocolate sweetened with?
CAlexRose says
