Tips:
-
Coconut flour is highly absorbent and can be difficult to work with and roll out, so use plenty of flour on your working surface and rolling pin.
-
For grain-free pets, you can use coconut flour only, however you will need to increase the liquids used and add slowly to get the desirable consistency.
-
Reduce your baking time slightly to create soft doughy cookies, or lengthen baking time for a crunchier treat.
