3 Ingredient Cookies are a paleo and gluten free cookie recipe. Full of amazing flavor, thanks in part to the almond flour they’re made with. The world’s easiest cookie recipe!
My friend (and fellow Foodie) Elizabeth Barbone of Gluten Free Baking has released her very own cookbook — The World’s Easiest Paleo Baking! I pretty much saw her pour her heart and soul into this cookbook online and was super excited when she contacted me to help her promote it! Of course I said YES!
The recipe for these 3 ingredient cookies calls for baking powder. Elizabeth also shares her super simple recipe for gluten free and paleo baking powder with us!
How to make gluten free and paleo baking powder
Active Time: 2 minutes
Yield: about 6 tablespoons
¼ cup cream of tartar
2 tablespoons baking soda
1 teaspoon tapioca starch
Whisk the cream of tartar, baking soda, and tapioca starch together in
a small bowl. Store in the pantry in an airtight container for up to 4 weeks.
You’ll want to be sure to put the expiration date on the glassware that you store the baking powder in. If it expires before you get through it in the 4 weeks time, you’ll want to make another batch!
What is the best paleo flour?
There are several kinds of flour that can used in paleo baking, including:
- cassava flour
- almond flour
- tigernut flour
- plaintain flour
- tapicoa starch
Flour needed for a gluten free cookie recipe
Elizabeth’s paleo and gluten free 3 ingredient cookies are made with almond flour. If you don’t want to buy almond flour, you can make your own by processing raw almonds in a food processor until they form a fine powder. Don’t process them too long or the oils in the nuts will heat up and you may end up with almond butter!

Nutrition
Now I have not made this recipe yet simply because I don’t have any almond flour. I’ve been out for quite awhile and simply just haven’t been able to find a good quality almond flour online.
I can’t get out easily being on crutches with the two little kids so when we run errands they are few and short on time! So if you have any brand recommendations of a Almond flour that I can order online I’m all ears!
