Mrs. Fields Gluten-free Cookie Alternative




Yum

Looking for a healthier alternative to your favorite Mrs. Fields Chocolate Chip Cookie? Try 14-year-old Brandon’s version!

Looking for healthier alternative to Mrs. Fields Try this gluten-free, grain-free cookie!

Gluten-free Cookie Recipe

Who doesn’t love the texture and taste of Mrs. Fields? This gluten-free version uses almond meal (almond flour), and a sweetener of your choice. Almond meal and almond flour are virtually the same product as both use finely ground almonds. You can readily substitute blanched almond flour for this recipe.

We substitute 1 cup tiger nut flour for one of the cups of almond meal. (See more about Tiger Nuts here.)

    Hey Andrea,
    For the sweetener on these cookies is it 3 tablespoons of xylitol and 3 tablespoon maple syrup?
    I cant use maple syrup. Thinking of using honey or what else could be substituted?

    Thanks!
