How is this recipe gluten free?
Thanks.
Hi Michelle, sorry if it was not clearly stated in this post. Please be assured that we have edited the post to clarify things.
This recipe lists organic flour as one of its ingredients, which contains gluten. However, Katrina opted to use a gluten-free flour for her to be able to taste the cookies. Please feel free to use your preferred flour.
Hope this helped and good luck in recreating this recipe!
These are not gluten free as the email says. :(
Hello Robin, we apologize for the confusion! We'd love to clarify this for you.
The recipe did list organic flour, which is not gluten-free. But Katrina did use gluten-free flour in order for her to taste the cookies, and anyone who prefers to do the same may copy her. To add, we also updated the ingredients list to reflect the option of using gluten-free flour, as desired.
We hope this helped and let us know if you were able to recreate this for yourself!
