    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.

    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.

    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!

    Scott Adams was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1994, and, due to the nearly total lack of information available at that time, was forced to become an expert on the disease in order to recover. In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives.  He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014. Celiac.com does not sell any products, and is 100% advertiser supported.

    Preheat oven to 350.
    In a bowl mix:
    2 ¼ cups tapioca flour
    1 tsp. salt
    1/3 cup sugar
    ½ tsp. xanthan gum (omit for pie crust)
    In a blender or food processor mix:
    1 cup Filberts/Macadamias
    ¼ cup water
    ½ cup canola oil
    1 tsp. vanilla
    Grind the nuts very fine. Add contents of food processor to bowl and mix. Roll into balls and flatten. Bake on greased cookie sheet at 350 for 10 - 15 minutes, or until they begin to turn golden-brown. The recipe makes 2 ½ dozen cookies.
    This dough rolls out on a potato-starch-floured board quite successfully to make cookie-cutter cookies. It also makes an excellent pie crust - flaky and delicious. Cover the edges with foil and pre-bake for 15 minutes before filling.

    Cream the butter until white. Add the sugar and beat until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Blend in the eggs, one at a time. Add the orange zest and vanilla, then stir in the nuts. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients to form a soft dough. Refrigerate the dough for at least one hour or overnight.

      Hello, I am a 45 year old mom, who was diagnosed at 29 with Celiac. My now 14 year old son was diagnosed just before his 4th birthday. Needless to say, we are old pros with the diet.

      But if you have been off of wheat for a period of weeks/months leading up to the testing it will likely turn out to be negative for celiac disease, even if you actually have celiac disease. Given your symptoms when consuming gluten, we certainly understand your reluctance to undergo the "gluten challenge" before testing but you need to understand that the...

      Thank you very much for your reply. I hadn't heard of celiac disease but began to notice a pattern of pain. I've been on the floor more than once with agonising pain but this was always put down to another abdominal problem consequently I've been on a roundabout of backwards and forwards with another consultant for many years. I originally questioned this...

      Joint swelling when ill even on gluten-free diet

      Wow! Fascinating info. Thanks so much! I really appreciate the guidance. @Spacepanther Over the years I have had rheumatologists do full lab work ups on me. They told me they had screened me for arthritis, lupus, and Lyme disease (all negative). In addition to joint pain and stiffness I had swelling in both knees that later moved to my elbow as well. I also...
