Different cookie formulations were madewith three distinct maize flour fractions obtained by sieving (less than 80 m; between 80 and 180 m;greater than 180 m). Cookies dimension, texture and colour were evaluated. Flour hydrationproperties and cookie dough rheology were also measured. Overall, an increase in maize flourparticle size decreases the values of water holding capacity (WHC), swelling volume and G’ (elasticmodulus) for the doughs. An increase in average particle size also increases diameter and spreadfactor of the cookies but decreases their hardness. A higher percentage of thick particles is moreeffective to reduce cookie hardness, but a certain percentage of thinner particles is necessary to givecohesion to the dough and to allow formation of the cookies without breaking. Cookies with a largerdiameter also presented a darker colour after baking.
