Do you think cashew butter would work and egg replacer as well? Or is that pushing it? Allergic to peanuts and eggs. Can't have almond butter either.

If you can't have peanuts, have you tried Open Original Shared Link? It's supposed to be good, and they have a recipe on the site for the cookies. Hope I never have to find out though - I love peanut butter.

I DID IT, I DID IT, I DID IT! :D:lol::P

(...bowing to the applaudes from the audience) B)

I FINALLY made something that didn't burn, fall apart, explode, or generally taste like poop.

Thanks so much for the recipe! (I was able to make it so quickly...my infant didn't even have time to cry for me to pick him up) ;)

I added chocolate chips and reduced the cooking time by five minutes (15 min. at 325). Hubby just got home and was thrilled at how good the house smelled and that cookies were waiting! B)

I'm officially a gluten-free "chef" (hee hee). -Julie

:lol::lol: Congratulations !!! :D

Thanks for the recipe, I made some this afternoon and they were lovely :) It's pouring with rain here and when I fetched my four-yr old from school she was able to walk into the smell of baking and peanut butter cookies to have with her cup of tea :D

Ok... YUM!!! I halved the sugar for the recipe and instead crushed up gluten free Oreo-style cookies and added them to the mixture. They are fabulous! The cookie bits really add some depth to the flavor without overpowering it.

*Very good with a cup of iced coffee*

Yay! Cookie success! Congrats to you. :D (crushed oreos...sounds good)

Deb, I'm sure your daughter loved the treat!

also...thanks Jen :lol: Who would have thought I would be so excited over PB cookies :rolleyes:;)

Mike,

You are exactly right. I always use AirBake cookie sheets which take a little longer than the recipe cooking time, but definitely yields a better cookie.

I've made those cookies before. They can be found in a plain ole cookbook too.

I always make cookies on baking parchment or silicone sheets and they come out fine.

I recommend getting an oven thermometer rather than just playing with the temperature. You could still lose several batches before getting it right if the temp is as far off as it sounds.

We use Kraft Peanut Butter at home, and there is usually a recipe on the side of the jar. One of their standard peanut butter cookie recipes has no flour...

From Kraft Canada:

Super Easy Peanut Butter Cookies

1) PREHEAT oven to 325°F.

2) MIX 1 cup Kraft Smooth Peanut Butter, 1/2 cup sugar and an egg with a large spoon in a medium bowl.

3) ROLL mixture into balls and place on a cookie sheet. Flatten with fork or squish with your fingers.

4) BAKE at 325°F for 20 min. Remove pan from the oven. Let cookies cool in pan for 5 min. to 'set', then transfer to a plate with spatula.

YUMMY!!!! I made these and they were great!!!! I can't believe how easy they were to make. I thought they would come out like crisp disks of peanut butter but they were a wonderful consistancy. I highly recommend these. If anyone has a recipie for christmas cookies I sure would appriciate if you could post them. Thanks. Casnco

Every Christmas before going gluten-free, I always made peanut butter blossoms, which are just a small peanut butter cookie with a Hershey's Kiss pressed in the middle. I have also used the Reeses Miniature Peanut Butter cups instead of the Kisses. This Christmas I will be making these using the gluten-free PB cookie recipe.

I imagine these cookies would be fabulous with red and green M&M's pushed into the top of them. This would make them look Christmas-y.

Do you mean sugar cookies?I neither eat nor bake Sugar Cookies, but they are a staple at my mother-in-law's house at Christmas. She made them, iced & decorated them (checking all labels, of course) and says you can't tell the difference between these and the usual ones she makes.

Gluten Free Sugar Cookies

⅓ cup margarine

⅓ cup shortening

1 cup rice flour

1 tsp xanthan gum

1 tsp unflavoured gelatin

1 egg

¾ cup sugar

1 tbsp milk

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp vanilla

¼ tsp salt (scant)

½ cup tapioca starch

½ cup potato starch

preheat oven to 375˚F

In a large bowl, beat margarine and shortening together until creamy.

Add rice flour, xanthan gum, gelatin, egg, sugar, milk, baking powder, vanilla and salt. Beat well.

Add tapioca starch and potato starch. Beat until well.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for three hours.

Divide the dough in half and chill the unused portion of the dough until needed.

On a lightly rice-floured surface, roll half of the dough at a time, to ⅛” thick. Cut into desired shapes and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. (if the dough becomes sticky, return to the fridge to chill again.)

Bake at 375˚ F for 7-8 minutes (for 2 ½ inch cookies; less for smaller ones, more for larger ones) or until the edges are firm and bottoms are very lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.

These are from Sheri L. Sanderson's cookbook "Incredible Edible Gluten Free Food for Kids"

I hope you can use all those ingredients or find easy substitutes.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I will have to try the M&M's in the PB cookies. Great idea! I am also going to try the sugar cookies. Man do I have a lot of flours, looks like I need to purchase some starches now. That is if I want to bake for Christmas.

Thanks again.

Holy cow!!!! I made these with my cashew butter and wow, they were amazing. I had to remind myself to not eat them all up right away - I am usually very good at eating just a few. I used my airbake cookie sheets, perfect. Next time, I am adding my chocolate chips.

I am also going to have to try those sugar cookies!

I made these last night. They came out small in size but very tasty with a big old glass of moo juice (a.k.a. milk). And the batter was good too - I miss cookie dough batter (Yeah, it's got a raw egg in it but I'm fine with that!). This was good and so easy, I was mad I never made them in my gluten-filled days. I want to expirement more for our upcoming Autumn Party. And using cashew butter...that sounds decadent.

yes, they are cupcakes. Unfortunately, they are gluten-filled ones. My partner (bless his heart) made 300 cupcakes for our wedding last year as the ones we were pricing from bakeries were way overpriced. Fortunately, I was able to eat them last year before I was diagnosed with Celiac. But even better, we still have TONS of icing in the freezer which is gluten-free and would taste good on mud!

I have a question for any of the bakers...

Can any of these 3 ingredient PB ccookie recipes be converted using honey as the sweetener rather than sugar??

I would probably use another nut butter (almond, etc.) as well.

If I just used nut butter, egg, and honey will it work?? Or do I need to make some kind of adjustment with the liquid/dry ratio

I found this:

Honey: Substituting honey for sugar seems to be a matter of taste. Some people use it cup for cup, others prefer 1/2 cup - 2/3 cup of honey per cup of white sugar. Reduce the amount of other liquids by 1/4 cup for every cup of honey used. Lower the oven temp about 25 degrees F to prevent over-browning and add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda for each cup of honey to your batter.n (Honey is naturally acidic and the baking soda tempers it.)

Those cupcake towers (or whatever the technical term is!) are very cool. I also got to eat my own wedding cake. Not that I wouldn't have loved to have been diagnosed years ago...but I'm also glad I was able to enjoy the spice cake we had :)

If my children request these for breakfast, I will sometimes allow it. I mean the protein and such, heck they are better than donuts or cereal! Everyone loves these. I just mix up what I mix in with them. Like now, the halloween M&M's would be cool. I have yet to find someone who doesn't like these! :P

I made these yesterday and have decided 9 minutes is too long. They are a bit "crisp". We ate most of them though. B)

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana
