Is toasted flour drier than regular flour?

[Signupbrodie]

I’m trying to swap out toasted AP flour for regular AP flour in my cookie dough. The toasted version keeps coming out a little too dry. Do I need to add extra liquid to account for the toasted flour?

I believe that toasted/heated flour has weaker gluten and absorbs more liquid-if you are wanting edible cookie dough that can be baked, you may need to add additional small amount of liquid.
