Armetta--I'm sensitive to soy but find that the lecithan and the oil don't bother me. It's the soy milk, protein and flour that I can't take. I really don't like using the Crisco, because of the soy, and also because it's hydrogenated. When I use it up, that's it. It makes things taste good, but it's not all that healthy--IMO! Oh, when you make the cookies, leave them on the baking sheet a few minutes, because they're really tender. They hold together well after they cool.

Thank you for telling me to leave them on the baking sheet. All I am doing is eating healthy and at my age I can use a little unhealthy. Just kidding. I have not baked from scratch since my diagnosis and am so looking forward to making these. If they don't turn out, I will bawl.

Mine weren't gummy at all--kind of a light, tender texture. Of course, I used an egg--that could have made the difference. I didn't use butter, either--I used Crisco. Normally, I would have used Spectrum Shortening, but I'm almost out and have not gotten to Whole Foods for a while. I thought about using my Smart Balance margarine, but was afraid it would make them spread out too much. I might still try it sometime. If I do, I'll use a bit less.

Yea. I think the egg was prbly the issue, but that cant be helped. The Flax Oil margin I used was smart balance, I think next time I will use crisco since we never have butter around. The flax oil stuff is a much different consitancey then the regular smart balance and I was worried about it. In fact I woudl say the criso is prbly better choice then the even the regular smart blance. But I cook with what I have, not what I think will work. :D

ok - reading this got me craving (just came back from a pool party/luau where everyone was eating all kinds of goodies and I couldn't eat A THING!). I tried the tollhouse recipe here and they are flat as a pancake and all run together. No problem though since I like the dough the best anyway :)

Oh my God Vincent--that precious little face eating his cookies! Looks like you should leave your recipe just the way it is :D

Did you use the butter? When I used to use butter for baking, I always noticed that it made cookies spread out on the sheet too much, and come out too flat. I hate to say it, (because it's not the healthiest choice) but I think solid shortening works best. Glad you enjoyed the dough, anyway! :D

Vincent, you could not have done too bad of a job with the cookies. He is actually holding a cookie - not a crumb :lol: . He is so beautiful. I love to look at the photo's you attach.

Hmmm, I'm trying to figure out why y'all get flat cookies. I use real butter, egg or substitute and follow the regular recipe with my gluten-free flour and they turn out just like "normal". In fact, I made them today for my son's baseball team snack, using Sunspire Sundrops instead of chocolate chips. The kids all scarfed them down without a complaint. Are you all following the recipe that calls for potato starch or the regular recipe with gluten-free flour?

Falt cookies come most often from either greasing your pans, or using non-stick cookware.

I used the potato starch recipe and margarine sticks (not real butter) - do you just use gluten-free flour (instead of potatoe starch) in the normal recipe and not change anything else?

I've just scaned the thread..do the toll house c/chip have the soy or just the soy lethicin in it.

Pamelas, does it have soy.

don't think the recipe V printed at first has soy, right.

The recipe does not have any soy in it, but what ever cholate chips you use might so you will have to check them. I do not have the Toll House Bag in front of me to see if hte toll house chips have soy, but I know the Enjoy Life Chololate chips do not have soy so you can use them instead.

Hi Liz--I used the potato starch recipe because I can't tolerate grains, period, anymore. That's why I was so happy to see that recipe that used no grains at all. The potato starch is so fine and soft, that if I could use a regular gluten-free flour or a mixture, I would. But I plan on making them again this way since mine came out fine.

Hey Judy--I used the Nestle's Semi Sweet Choco. Chips. They do have soy lethicin in them. :)

I also had a hard time w/cookies coming out flat and crumbly when using margarine and subbing for egg.

I found a slightly different recipe that had gelatin in it, used Ener-G egg replacer and Spectrum Shortening instead and they turned out great! The recipe belongs to someone else, but I'd be glad to PM to anyone that wants it.

Hi Cheri :) --The next time I make these, I would rather use Spectrum than Crisco--what do you think? I have always found that using butter or margarine make my cookies too flat and crunchy. Not bad, but I just prefer chewy.

Thank you everybody for the cookie advice. I used Crisco and parchment paper. I also let them set a couple of minutes before I transfer'd them to my cooling rack. They are awesome. I can't believe that I am eating chocolate chip cookies. My family really liked them. The only thing I changed was add a cup and a half of chips instead of the one cup. Everyone loves the chips, but they know they only get a couple as I am trying to put 2 1/2 pounds back on. Thank you for all the good cooking advice.

Oh Armetta--I'm SO glad they turned out well for you! I know what you mean about everybody else wanting to eat them on you--I'm like "you all can have anything else you want, I get these!" :D (Not really, I do share ;) )

Hey Vincent, I could not throw the whole bag in as I had bought one of those gigantic ones at Cosco. LOL>

Well, I made a batch today and used the Spectrum Organic Shortening. They came out exactly the same as the ones I made with Crisco. Just thought I'd update :D

Yes, I use the Bette Hagman gluten-free flour recipe. 3 C br. rice flour, 1 c potato starch, 1/2 C tapioca starch and 2-1/2 tsp. xanthan gum. I sift it 3 times, then put it in a container to store in the fridge.

To make the cookies, I just follow the recipe on the back of the bag, substituting the flour. I substitute eggs usually too, and still don't get flat cookies.

What egg sub did you use? I tried te geltin one this time, and I think thats why mine are a bit gummy.

Patti ~ glad that it worked the same w/the Spectrum ~ I love that stuff ~

Vincent ~ sorry your cookies came out gummy...I think my recipe used Ener G egg replacer.

Now I'm in the mood for chocolate chip cookies ~ will have to make some later!

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By Mari · Posted

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

      Thank you all for sharing your experiences! And I am very thankful for that Thanksgiving article, Scott! I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

      @Mari, did you read that second article that Scott linked? It is the most recently date one. "Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.
