POTATO FLAKE COOKIES *GLUTEN FREE*



Potato Flake Cookies *gluten Free* image

I found this recipe on a cookie website and tried it using Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Baking Flour. They turned out great and tasted like normal cookies! It took me a few batches to get the browning right but I found that by cooking them slightly longer and having them be a little more browned they were easier to remove from the baking sheet and not have the cookies fall apart. I added the lemon extract to the batter because I had it on hand and it made for just a slight hint of lemon and they tasted great, but that can be optional. I also added some sprinkles for some color and my kids loved them. I also used a round pizza pan to bake the cookies in and they turned out better than a rectangular sheet.

Tips:

  • Use russet potatoes for the best results. They have a high starch content, which makes them ideal for creating a chewy cookie.
  • Make sure to cook the potatoes until they are very soft. This will help them to blend smoothly into the cookie dough.
  • Don't overmix the cookie dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to spread less and keep their shape.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help them to get crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.

Conclusion:

Potato flake cookies are very tasty and can be used for a wide range of occasions. They are a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes, and they can also be made with fresh potatoes. Potato flake cookies are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
