Using almond flour in cookies
I want to substitute almond flour for half the wheat flour in a sugar
cookie or shortbread recipe. I don't have a specific recipe in mind yet, but I want to make jam-filled thumbprint cookies out of it to use up some of last year's marmalade or the year-before-that's crabapple jelly. Should I use all-purpose flour for the remainder, or bread flour? Do cookies depend on at least a *little* bit of gluten to hold together, or will the egg do that? I think I want AP flour, but am curious about seeing what bread flour will do... (doesn't Alton Brown sometimes use bread flour in cookies?) Bob |

Fill your cookies with jelly and with marzipan made with your almond flour. http://candy.about.com/od/marzipanca...r/Marzipan.htm |

I think Bob's Red Mill's is ground finer, but I don't need to use gluten free flour anymore and don't remember for sure. -- I take life with a grain of salt, a slice of lemon and a shot of tequila |
