Anyone know of a good EASY sugar cookie recipe? Anything out of a box or bag would be better. We need some icing ideas too!

My 6 year-old will be making gluten-free cookies for santa this year...

You can do canned frosting.  Its gluten-free.  I think at least one major brand actually labels it gluten-free.  I know there are some box mixes you could use.

Do you need to be dairy free?  I think most canned frosting has dairy.

this is good for dairy free- 

4 cups powdered sugar

1 cup shortening (I use spectrum palm oil but Crisco should work)

1 teaspoon vanilla

5-7 teaspoons water

Mix well in a mixer.  You can add color or flavors like mint or lemon without changing the color.  If you use real vanilla and the palm shortening - it won't be a bright white...more of a cream color.

Umm I have Multiple options, I have a recipe on my blog for making a grain free version from scratch (click my profile then check my recipe blog) I will also give links to various ones and the only icing I use in my bakery. PS for a Sugar Free hard set icing I like to melt coconut butter, swerve sweetener, vanilla, and a bit of almond milk mix it up and use it. Check Amazon for pricing and where to order these.

This will be fun. My son will enjoy doing the different colors and it looks easy.

gluten-free dough can be hard to roll.  So...if you find you have difficulty, just roll the dough into balls and flatten.  You can frost and decorate.  Use parchment paper or a silicone make.  gluten-free dough tends to stick!

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By trents · Posted

      First, I hope you know that celiac disease is not an allergy to gluten. It is an autoimmune disease reaction that is triggered by gluten consumption. Allergies don't trigger immunes responses whereby the body attacks it's own tissues but this is what is actually happening with celiac disease and what distinguishes celiac disease from NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).  Second, though I think your question other question has already been answered. Since the tTG-IGA antibody test is only 90 to 98% specific, elevated values for this test will be have non-celiac disease causes in 2 to 8 out of 100 cases. I realize that is addressing your question in a general way but the...

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By Shining My Light · Posted

      @trents This info is so helpful and I’m absorbing it all. My blood tests were almost a month ago and I feel like it came out of left field. I never even heard of term “silent celiac.” I thought celiac gave you violent diarrhea when you consumed a tiny bit of gluten. That’s it. Not that it damages your small intestine, not that it made the absorption of vitamins and minerals compromised. None of it. To me it was just an allergy to gluten.  My close family and friends think I’m crazy for even giving it a second thought because “no symptoms, no worries.”  It’s unfortunately hard for me to let something go that I don’t know enough about. Therefore all the research came into play.  I’m glad I’ve joined...

      Probably celiac but also confused

      Lot's of folks would trade places with you with regard to the unintentional weight loss. Seriously, though, I would be concerned about vitamin and mineral depletion due to malabsorption in the small bowel. One thing you can do now to address that which will not jeopardize the accuracy of further testing for celiac disease would be to start taking some high potency vitamin and mineral supplements. Make sure they are all gluten free if you will continue to use them - after diagnosis, that is. Wheat starch is sometimes used as a filler in pills. A multivitamin may not be potent enough. So, I would go for a B-complex, magnesium glycinate (the form of magnesium is important for good...

      I'm 5'2" so it's weight I could afford to lose. I guess what's concerning is that it's not on purpose, I haven't been active because I don't have much energy, and it's been steadily going down since I started keeping track of it. So I'm not too worried about where I'm at right now, but it's something I'm keeping an eye on.

      A classic case of more than one medical problem going on at a time. We often forget that can happen. Are you concerned about your weight loss? Is your current weight too thin for your height, gender and general build?
