# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The texture is incredible—crispy edges giving way to a fudgy middle that nobody believes is gluten-free
  • Using two types of chocolate chips creates pockets of both intense richness and creamy sweetness
02 -
  • Underbaking by 1–2 minutes is the secret to achieving that fudgy center gluten-free treats sometimes lack
  • Letting the dough rest for 30 minutes before baking prevents excessive spreading and intensifies the chocolate flavor
03 -
  • Chill your baking sheets between batches to prevent cookies from spreading too much
  • Weighing your flour with a kitchen scale eliminates guesswork and guarantees consistent results
