I think that would be it exactly - remove the xanthan gum and tapioca flour and use regular flour for the wheat version. The tapioca and wheat flour might not transfer cup for cup however as a cup of wheat flour is heavier than a cup of tapioca Flour. You might want to start with 3/4 cup of wheat flour and work up from there until you get a good cookie dough consistency. Let me know how it goes. Hi Meredith.

I am curious though, what would the recipe be if the goal was not to be gluten-free? Replace tapioca flour with regular flour and omit the xanthan gum? These look wonderful.

They are not as pretty as I wished... The first time I saw a buckwheat cookie, I thought it had chocolate in it, and when I saw it didn't the brown color somehow put me off a little. Until I tasted it that is! I think in time, as all the interesting and flavorful gluten-free grains gain prominence and social acceptance, we won't even think twice about a dark brown cookie with no chocolate or molasses!
