In 1994 I was diagnosed with celiac disease, which led me to create Celiac.com in 1995. I created this site for a single purpose: To help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives. Celiac.com was the first site on the Internet dedicated solely to celiac disease, and since then it has become an invaluable resource to people worldwide who seek information about celiac disease and the gluten-free diet.
In 1998 I created The Gluten-Free Mall, Your Special Diet Superstore! which was also another Internet first—it was the first gluten-free food site to offer a shopping cart-style interface, and the ability for people to order gluten-free products manufactured by many different companies at a single Web site.
I am also co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of Journal of Gluten Sensitivity.
This recipe comes to us from Ann Sokolowski.
Preheat oven to 350F and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Combine:
1 cup almond flour (freshly ground if possible)
1 cup sugar
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 teaspoons gluten-free vanilla extract
½ teaspoons gluten-free almond extract
½ cup chipped dried apricots
2 Tablespoons butter
Combine all ingredients and mix well. Drop by scant teaspoonful onto
parchment paper. Bake 10 to 12 minutes. DO NOT LET BROWN. Let cool on
cookie sheet for 2 minutes before removing to cookie rack to cool completely.
Store them in an air-tight container. Makes three dozen.

16 Sep 2008 3:16:01 AM PDT I think the recipe is good in general but I did two batches and the 2nd batch I changed a few things. I added another 1/2 cup of almond flour plus another 1/2 cup of chopped almonds to give me more crunch. I halved the sugar as 1st batch was too sweet for me. Instead of dried apricot, I used choc chips and mashed banana. The 2nd batch was a lot better. It's soft inside but crunchy outside. My husband couldn't stop eating them.

23 Jun 2009 2:23:28 PM PDT I can eat gluten and I would make them again even if my daughter did not like them. Both kids love them.
I only used 2/3 cup sugar and substituted dried apples because that is what was in my pantry. Just do not let them cool to much on the sheet or they will stick. |

02 Oct 2012 2:33:03 PM PDT Excellent cookies! they are chewy and so good, we don't like things too sweet so I reduced the sweetener to 1/3 cup Xylitol and 1/4 cup coconut palm sugar, and added 1/4 tsp salt. So, so good!
