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!

      New diagnosis

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hello, and welcome to the forum. Getting use to gluten-free eating is a struggle, but it is worth it. Your daughter should begin to feel much better and the fatigue will fade but it can take some time. I am sure you will get lots of suggestions from forum members - we have a few from the UK. I am a bit pushed for time just now but will come back later. Russ

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      By BelleDeJour · Posted

      Thank you so much @suek54 How are you doing today? I spoke too soon yesterday. Something (I can only think gluten-free sweets or a can of soft drink) set me off yesterday. Had a bath, applied some cream, still itching so applied some steroid and was awake until 3am. It's so frustrating. Always 2 steps forward, 1 step back. I am at work now and going to play it very much on the very safe side with food for the next few days.  My derm appointment is less than a week away. I will update on here because I do feel it important to help others.

      Skin issues

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I’m sorry you’re going through all of this. It sounds very stressful, especially when you feel that your symptoms are not being taken seriously. Until you are seen next week, it may help to keep the focus very practical: take clear photos of the skin sores, write down a timeline of symptoms, list all medicines, eye drops, supplements, implants/leak history, and any test results, and bring that to the dermatologist. If there is drainage, spreading redness, fever, worsening pain, eye involvement, or signs of infection, that needs prompt medical care. I would be cautious about assuming parasites or staph without testing, and also cautious with new supplements or putting vitamin C directly on sores, since irritated skin can get worse. A dermatologist can culture lesions, biopsy if needed, and refer to infectious disease if the findings point that way. On the celiac side, I understand your concern for your son, but being HLA-DQ2 positive does not by itself mean he has celiac disease; it means he has a genetic risk. If he is eating gluten now, this is actually the best time for proper celiac blood testing before he tries a gluten-free diet. His symptoms, weight, congestion, and family history are worth discussing with a gastroenterologist, but he should not be told he has celiac based only on HLA status. For your own care, try to keep pushing for objective testing and clear documentation in your records, because that is often what gets doctors to take the next step.
