For leavening purposes, baking powder will add lightness to your recipes. If you only need to replace the egg whites, try using agar powder or aquafaba , which is just canned chickpea brine. Of course, there are also commercial egg replacers that you can buy. You also want to minimize ingredients that are wet or hold moisture. If the liquids evaporate more, the cookies will be crispier. Flour: Flours that contain more protein create browner, crispier cookies.
All-purpose flour and whole-wheat flour are high in protein. Gluten-free flours, especially the heavier grain flours, usually have more protein. These might include millet, quinoa, and buckwheat flours, nut flours and meals, bean and legume flours, and cornmeal. This recipe for Pomegranate Peanut Flour Cookies with Chocolate Drizzle uses ground peanuts to create a meal-like flour. Fat: When it comes to fat, high protein, and low melting temperatures allow cookies to spread more, resulting in crispier cookies.
When you use butter, including vegan butter , you want it to be softened but not melted. When softened butter is mixed with sugar, it creates air bubbles. Those air bubbles are then filled with carbon dioxide from the baking soda and as a result, you get crispy cookies. Sugar: White sugar leads to crispier cookies than brown sugar or other sweeteners do.
Eggs: Cookies without eggs are usually flatter and crispier since eggs act as leavening agents. For our purposes, that means that agar-agar or aquafaba, which act as egg white replacements, can lead to crispy cookies. These Fugetaboutit Cookies use aquafaba and cream of tartar for delicious, crunchy cookies. Baking cookies for a few extra minutes will also lead to crispier cookies because they have more time to spread out before they firm up.
The thinner the cookie, the crispier it will be. Flour: For chewy cookies, choose flours with a lower protein content.
