Best Flour for Cookies

WHAT DOES FLOUR DO IN COOKIES?

Before we dive into the cookie science results let’s discuss what flour actually does for our cookies. I like to think of flour as the bricks of the cookie building.

Flour helps to provide structure to our cookies due to the protein, gluten, that is formed when the flour becomes hydrated.

This means that the flour can be responsible for making our cookies: chewy, cakey, even dry and crumbly.

Which Flour Is Best For Cookies?
It depends on what consistency you want your cookies to have!

Best recommendation for chocolate chip cookies is to try using 1/2 whole wheat flour and 1/2 all-purpose flour. You might also like using white whole wheat flour. You get all the nutrients but a much softer flour.
