Notes
To make these Healthy Frozen Blueberry Cookies gluten free, replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend that contains xanthan gum.
Confirm that the baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, vegan butter, frozen blueberries, lemon juice, and white chocolate chips are labeled gluten free.
Use gluten-free white chocolate chips, as some brands may contain gluten ingredients or be processed in shared facilities.
Prepare the dough with clean bowls, measuring tools, spatulas, baking sheets, and parchment paper to prevent gluten cross-contact.
Gluten-free cookie dough may be slightly softer or more delicate, so chill the dough thoroughly before baking.
Allow the gluten-free cookies to cool on the baking sheet before moving them, as they may be more fragile while warm.
