Our Starbucks has a gluten-free cookie and my brother says they're good. I haven't tried them but he bought me one. I can't find any information on them.

Interesting....I have been emailing them regularly asking them to carry some gluten-free items - and received no response. I'll have to swing by and see if our store is carrying them. Thanks for the heads up!

Emailed Starbucks re: cookie -- got a standard form email in response encouraging me to contact "my" store. I guess they think people are loyal to one particular Starbucks and wouldn't dare enter one in another city or state........

Sorry, but I've tried and tried to get straight answers from them and they are just frustrating.

I've tried corporate and "my" store --- grrrrrrr.

Hopefully, one of us will find the mystery cookie, soon!

Yea, but when we find this legendary cookie, will it be in the case next to the regular ones? I can't wait to hear about someone finally finding one!! I'm glad that they are at least carrying roasted almonds now!

I agree with you.....this is ONLY a wonderful thing if the gluten-free Cookie isn't being CC'd by the regular cookies....or CC'd on the line, etc.

If anyone ever gets through to Starbucks w/ more details please share...I'll look around too & try to help out.

At least we can still get the coffee.....THANK YOU LORD!!!

I heard about the gluten-free Starbucks treat (didn't know it was a cookie) but heard that it was placed in the case with the other food items. Maybe you could ask for one right out of the package, but I haven't found anything gluten-free at any Starbucks around me. I'm not a fan of the coffee, either.

I don't drink their coffee often b/c of the price and I like to make mine at home w/ gluten-free flavored creamer but it's a good back up plan if i'm ever on the road for work & need a "fix". HAHA!

Maybe the mystery cookie is actually the marshmellow square? That's the only thing that I can think of and I don't trust it anway. Major CC alarm!!

I asked at our Starbucks today and the manager said it was not available on the order form, but that different regions have different forms, so other regions may have them.

I just read on another forum about this mysterious gluten-free treat. Here is what they have to say :

The Starbucks in Charleston, SC are now selling a peanut butter gluten free whoppie pie! It is awesome. I still have not seen anything posted on their website about it though.

***********************************************************************************

I called Starbucks Corporate Public Relations and inquired about the peanut butter whoopie pies. A few days later the the same person called me back and told me that their whoopie pies were indeed gluten-free. The person advised me that the main ingredient in the cookie part was rice flour. This individual seem very knowledgable of gluten and said that they get a lot of inquires concerning gluten.

***********************************************************************************

Ok those are the highlights of the conversations...............anyways...it's a little more info than we had

We must have read that in the same place... I also just read that. And, felt happy for 2 seconds until I saw the words "Peanut Butter" -- and then I got upset. Since, it's a peanut butter whoopie pie. =( For someone who can't eat peanuts, gluten free or not... it "ain't no treat."

=(

Feelin' a bit let down.....

That does totally stink. I'm a peanutbutteraholic.......so it's good for me, bad for you :( Maybe if it is successful they will come out with some other varieties?!?!

I was told by Starbucks that the only item they have that is gluten-free is the Marshmallow Squares (rice krispie treats). Has anyone gotten sick from eating this item?

I was excited that they had macaroons a few weeks ago, but called and found out there was wheat in them. Macaroons are a traditional Jewish Passover food and they never have wheat in them! HOw obnoxious and unnecessary to add wheat to a product that really needs nothing to coconut, sugar and egg whites! Bah.

I am glad some of you all have access to a gluten-free "whoopie pie" (whatever that is!) ... I hope they start having them in my area, too. I try not to eat too much processed food but sometimes I just want to feel normal and buy a pastry to go with my coffee!

There is a good chance the marshmallow squares have malt in them, and if they are indeed made with Rice Crispies, they are not gluten free. Most commercial puffed "rice cripsy" cereals have malt.

They're not made with Rice Krispies, that's why they call them "Marshmellow Squares"....

In that case, you would have to know what kind of cereal they use to know for sure.

RE: marshmallow treats made outside your home

Unless the person making them used gluten-free rice krisp cereal, you should question them. Most commercial cereal has the barley malt in them and that's not gluten-free.

RE: Whoopie Pies

Whoopie Pies - a baked treat found in Amish areas. Two flattish round chocolate cake layers (4" diameter about) with a fluffy white boiled frosting inside (think Devil Dog, which is not gluten-free). If the cake is gluten-free and the filling is gluten-free then it's an OK treat to eat. I'm sure they can be made at home using gluten-free ingredients.

Well, all I know is that I asked Starbucks (called their CS line) and they confirmed that marshmellow squares are gluten-free. It's up the individual to trust them or not. I seriously doubt they're made in a gluten-free facility, and would have doubts in general about information provided by Starbucks after hearing a number of stories here from people who found their products had hidden gluten ingredients.

I had a marshmellow square from S'bux the other day and it didn't make me sick, but I haven't been confirmed Celiac so I'm certainly no one to use as a gauge!

And mmm... Whoopie pies sound tasty, I hope the gluten-free ones make their way out here to CA!

I just wanted to let anyone in the metro Atlanta area know that I found the gluten-free peanut butter whoopie pies at the Starbucks at Peachtree and 7th in Midtown Atlanta, right across the street from the shiny new Spire high-rise condo building. The cashier checked with the manager who verified they are gluten-free (there was no tag on it in the display case).

It's pretty tasty, though quite sweet, so I only ate half of it in one sitting.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
