Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these Dunkin Cookies gluten-free?
Yes, you can make these cookies gluten-free by substituting the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Be sure to check that all other ingredients, like oats and baking powder, are gluten-free as well to maintain the integrity of the recipe.
What can I use instead of shortening?
If you don't have shortening, you can use an equal amount of coconut oil or unsalted butter as a substitute. Keep in mind that using butter will give the cookies a richer flavor, while coconut oil may add a slight coconut taste.
How can I make these cookies softer?
To achieve softer Dunkin Cookies, slightly underbake them by removing them from the oven just before they turn golden brown. Additionally, using more brown sugar than white sugar can help retain moisture, resulting in a softer texture.
