Gluten free baking has it’s perks! There are so many flour substitutions that you can use for your desserts. Each flour will give you a slightly different unique taste! Lot’s of grocery stores are including gluten free flour on their shelves. Some great brands are King Arthur’s Baking, Bob’s Red Mill, and Good & Gather at Target. All of these flours are 1:1 which means you can easily substitute them using the exact measurement for flour in all of your recipes. Apart from gluten free flour, there is: almond flour, oat flour, and buckwheat flour that you can explore when looking for gluten free flours to try.

BROWN BUTTER TIPS
- Add the butter to a light colored pan over high heat.
- Having a light colored pan will help you see the butter clearly! You’ll know when it goes from bright yellow, to a darker yellow, and finally settling to brown.
- Once the butter fully melts, reduce the heat to medium.
- Melting the butter on high gets you jumpstarted on the process. As soon as the entire block of butter has melted, quickly reduce the heat to medium. This heat change will give you control of the browning process.
- Constantly stir the butter in a clockwise (or counterclockwise) direction.
- Stirring ensures even cooking time and prevents burning.
- Once the butter starts to darken, immediately remove the pot from the stove.
- Don’t wait for the butter to get very dark! As soon as you see brown specs appear, you’re good to go! There’s only a few seconds between having great brown butter and getting burnt butter.
- Pour the browned butter into a heat-safe glass dish and let it cool to room temperature.
- Even if it’s off the stove, the butter can still burn in the pot! I use Pyrex or any clear glass dish that can handle high heat. It’ll help the butter cool to room temperature.
That’s it! These simple 5 steps will ensure you get perfect brown butter for any dessert recipe! I like my brown butter to settle into a semi-firm solid. This makes creaming it with sugar much like creaming basic softened butter. However brown butter can be enjoyed in liquid or solid form.
Cookie Tips
12-13 minutes is the standard time for cookies to bake in a heated oven of 350 degrees F. When you take cookies out, the insides and middle may look undercooked or gooey. This is perfect! As the cookies cool, the middle will soften. When you cookies are completely cooled. Pour the maple glaze on top & let them cool again.
You’ll have the perfect iced gluten free chocolate chip cookies!
