Can I make Gilmore Girls Coffee Cake Cookies gluten-free?

Yes, you can definitely make these cookies gluten-free by substituting the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Be sure to choose a blend that works well for baking to ensure a delicious result. Additionally, you may need to adjust the amount of liquid to maintain the right dough consistency.

How should I store the cookies?

These Gilmore Girls Coffee Cake Cookies should be stored in an airtight container to maintain their freshness. They can stay fresh for up to a week at room temperature. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them; just ensure they are well-wrapped!

Can I use different nuts or none at all?

Absolutely! You can use various nuts like walnuts, pecans, or almonds, or even omit them for a nut-free version. If you're looking to add more flavor without nuts, consider mixing in dried fruit like cranberries or raisins.

How do I know when my cookies are done?

The best way to test if your cookies are done is to look for a light golden brown color on the edges. They should appear set but still soft in the middle as they will continue to cook slightly after removing from the oven.

Can I add a frosting or glaze to the cookies?

Certainly! Adding a simple icing sugar glaze or a cream cheese frosting can elevate these cookies, providing an extra layer of sweetness. For a classic coffee flavor, a dusting of powdered sugar could be a perfect finishing touch.
