The batter was way too thin. Added another cup of flour. It was still very thin. Baked them anyway. 50 min. too long to bake,
maybe 30 min. Not a lot of flavour and didn’t like using cane sugar. Will not make again. very dissapointed. I purchases all the ingrediants, it was a waste of money.
.
Terrible recipe very runny and I even added extra sorghum flour to thicken it up.
Are you sure you want to cook these for 50-60 minutes??? I tried this recipie and the dough was really runny. I had to add a lot more flour. I would I didn’t have sorghum flour so used almond flour. Didn’t want to use sugar so used monk fruit, but they weren’t very good and had I left them in the oven for 50 minutes they would have been burned. Does the sorghum behave a lot differently than other flours?
I haven’t tried the recipe, and I really wanted to. But can I substitute something else for sorghum flour? I tried the 3 “crunchiest” stores in town, and came up blank. I don’t need them to be gluten-free.
Have u made these with all sorghum flour mix and xanthum gum??
I generally love FOK recipes, but this one didn’t work out. As far as I can tell, I followed the directions perfectly, but the recommended cooking time seems off. My cookies at 1/8” thick were rock hard long before the suggested baking time. I’d suggest that people pull them at 30 minutes instead, but I know it depends on the oven.
Pure CANE SUGAR! I’m really surprised by this ingredient and for FOK promoting it.
Why you use SUGAR?? it is no healthy for anybody !!! I do not really like all the recipes because the problem is not the oil ( healthy oils- coconut, avocado and olive oil) the problem is the sugar and the carbohydrates and you use these ingredients.
Is the baking time correct on this?
In an hour it’s a very long time to bake a cookie!
This is a website advocating a certain way of eating that includes starches and natural sugars. If you don’t like that, no one is forcing you to be here on this site. There are plenty of keto and low carb sites that offer recipes without starches or sugar, if that’s what you’re into. Just don’t judge others for choosing a different path.
Is there maybe an error in the baking time? 50 to 60 minutes is a LONG time for cookies!!!
This recipe didn’t work out at all. The batter was too thick, and making the cookies 1/8″ was way too thin. They were dark brown and hard as a rock after 40 minutes in the oven.
Thank you. This recipe does seem a bit off.
