Top Tips for Perfecting Vegan Gluten-free Cinnamon Roll Cookies

• Substitutions: Want to mix things up? Feel free to replace almond flour with sunflower seed flour for a nut-free option, ensuring it remains a Halal-friendly choice.
• Timing: Make sure not to overmix your dough; this will help keep the cookies tender.
• Common Mistakes: Don’t skip the cooling step after baking! Allowing them to cool helps them firm up and keeps that perfect texture!

Storing and Reheating Tips

These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the cookies between layers of parchment paper in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.

When you’re ready to enjoy them, simply allow them to thaw at room temperature or pop them in the microwave for a few seconds. This will rejuvenate their delightful texture and warmth!
