    Walker's Beloved Shortbread Now Offers Certified Gluten-Free Versions

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    They live up to the Walker's promise: "all the pure-butter taste, aroma and texture you love, but without the gluten."

    Celiac.com 02/28/2023 - Everyone knows about Walker's Shortbread, but did you know that they also now make Certified Gluten-Free versions of their beloved treats? We were delighted to try the following new gluten-free versions, which use a proprietary blend of rice flour, corn flour, and potato starch to replace the traditional wheat flour:

    • Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Shortbread
    • Gluten Free Ginger & Lemon Shortbread
    • Gluten Free Shortbread Rounds

    It should be no surprise that each of these new varieties use the same high-quality butter and sugar as their original wheat-based counterparts, and are still baked in small batches to ensure their classic taste, but what was a big surprise to us is that Walker's has somehow found a way to capture the same amazing flavor, aroma, soft crunchiness, and mouth feel that are trademarks of their original versions.

    In fact, they've created perfect crossover gluten-free shortbread cookies which sacrifice nothing—even for those without gluten issues, and they do, indeed, live up to the Walker's promise: "all the pure-butter taste, aroma and texture you love, but without the gluten."

    Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Shortbread

    If you're a chocolate chip cookie lover like me, then you must try Walker's Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Shortbread! These cookies are the perfect combination of crispy shortbread and delectable chocolate chips. I love how the chocolate chips are just the right amount, not overpowering the shortbread taste, but giving it an extra chocolate kick. Every bite is heavenly, and they are perfect for satisfying your chocolate chip cookie cravings.  These cookies are so delicious that it's hard to believe they're gluten-free! I highly recommend these cookies to everyone, whether you're gluten sensitive or not. 

    Gluten Free Ginger & Lemon Shortbread

    Walker's Gluten Free Ginger & Lemon Shortbread is a game-changer for me. I love the combination of the warm, spicy sweetness of stem ginger with the tangy freshness of lemon. This cookie has the perfect amount of lemon flavor with a nice ginger finish. The texture is perfectly crumbly, and it melts in my mouth with every bite. I can taste the high-quality ingredients that make these cookies so special, and the ginger aroma is simply divine.

    Walker's Ginger & Lemon cookies are perfect for a snack, a dessert, or even with a cup of tea or coffee. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to try something unique and flavorful—you'll be hooked after just one bite!

    Gluten Free Shortbread Rounds

    Walker's Gluten Free Shortbread Rounds are the ultimate shortbread experience. The rich butter flavor is fully unleashed in this cookie, and the crumbly texture is just perfect. These cookies are the purest form of shortbread, without any distractions. Every bite is like a hug from a dear friend, comforting and satisfying.

    I love how these cookies can be enjoyed on their own or paired with other desserts. They're perfect for any occasion, whether you're celebrating a special event or just having a casual snack. I highly recommend these cookies to anyone who wants to experience the authentic taste of shortbread. Trust me, you won't find a better shortbread cookie out there!

    Desserts Can Actually be Healthy for You
    Celiac.com 06/18/2020 - Think about some of the foods that we are told are healthy for us, like those high in fiber (almonds, walnuts, figs, dates, raisins, sesame seeds), fresh berries (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries), other fresh fruit (apples, pears, oranges, kiwi, bananas, cherries, melons), dairy products (1% or 2% milk, low fat cheese), and probiotics (yogurt).  Each of these ingredients is a prime candidate for use in desserts.
    Most of us love desserts.  The major offender in anything sweet is sugar.  Some people opt to use artificial sugars to avoid the calories of cane or beet sugar, while others vehemently avoid the artificial sweeteners because of their health risks.  One teaspoon of granulated sugar has just 16 calories and 4.2 grams of carbohydrates.  I...

    Arm & Hammer and Other Brands of Gluten-Free Baking Soda
    Celiac.com 08/14/2021 - We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain products are gluten-free. We especially get a lot of questions about baking ingredients like baking soda.  Specifically, what brands of baking soda are gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease?
    Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. Per Wikipedia, "Sodium bicarbonate (IUPAC name: sodium hydrogen carbonate), commonly known as baking soda or bicarbonate of soda, is a chemical compound with the formula NaHCO3." As a general rule, baking soda does not contain gluten ingredients, and can be regarded as gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease. 
    One thing to note is that some baking sodas are intended for cleaning, and are not food grade. Make sure the baking s...

    New Gluten-Free Wheat Starch Promises Superior Baking Qualities
    Celiac.com 05/24/2022 - A new gluten-free wheat starch from Sweden could help to improve gluten-free baking options for people with gluten-intolerance and celiac disease.
    Lantmännen Biorefineries has announced the launch of its new gluten-free wheat starch. Produced with wheat from Sweden's autumn wheat harvest, the company promises a gluten-free wheat starch  "with good baking properties that do not affect the final product’s taste," says Lars Franzén, head of food ingredients at Lantmännen Biorefineries. 
    Compared to other starches, wheat starch offers numerous baking advantages. It provides the proper elasticity, and helps to stabilize bread structure and texture. 
    Without wheat starch, gluten-free bakers often have to try to mirror these qualities using other i...
