Chocolate Chip Cookies

I need help. I have the recipe for the wheat free cookies made with only potato starch.. well the cookies spread so far all over the pan, I have one giant cookie. I remember there being a few recipes on here for the cookies.. the toll house ones.. however, I cannot search for it. Everytime I try to search for a subject, nothing that I am looking for comes up. I have no idea if I am doing it right or not.

Anyway.. I am looking for any recipe. Please! I need chocolate chip cookies!

But for eating raw cookie dough.. the recipe I have is fantastic!!!

I use the Toll House recipe off the chocolate chip bag but use rice flour instead of regular flour and vegan butter. They come out good usually and I know other people substitute more things but I only do the rice flour and vegan butter.

I substitute rice flour (or Orgran's all purpose gluten-free flour) for regular flour in the Tollhouse recipe, it's very easy. But then I also am in love with the Pamela's chocolate chip mix!

no need to add xanthan gum or anything? I havent tried the Pamelas yet. I was just feeling adventerous to bake some cookies for Colin tonite.. good thing he is only 17 months and doesnt realize it yet!

I haven't had to add Xanthan gum with cookies. But I also eat them as soon as they come out of the oven.

I also use the Tollhouse recipe. i like to use the Betty Hagman rice flour blend and 1 tsp of xanthan gum per cup of flour (usually about 2 tsp works well) I also throw the cookie dough in the fridge for an hr before baking. This helps keep the cookies thick and chewy. :)

Hi Stephanie,

I actually make these cookies all the time--I like that they use potato starch, as I'm sensitive to grains and have to severly limit them (and I don't like to limit cookies :D )

Are you using butter? That will make them spread I think because the potato starch dosen't "hold" it very well. I use Spectrum Organic Shortening, and they come out great. If you can use it, Crisco also works.

I have also tweaked the recipe so it has less sugar. The cookies come out a little lighter, but very good. I'll post that recipe if you'd like it :)

What an excellent tip Richard :) I will have to keep this in mind next time I bake cookies, the last time they flattened way out and were really crisp, I bet the chilling will help.

I have a terrible sweet tooth, and bake cookies at least once a week :ph34r: I've been known to use extra brown sugar, almonds, walnuts, PB chips, white choc. chips, PB , and Nutella in different variations of the Tollhouse recipe. Someday I'll throw all of the above in and see what happens! Chilling & X-gum makes a huge difference IMO, the cookies come out chewy-tender and stay that way :rolleyes::)

Thanks for all the suggestions.. I am ready to try some today.. and yes jersey;.. I would love it if you posted your receipe. Using the potato starch made the dough taste exactly like the old stuff used to taste. I almost started to cry when I tasted the raw dough. It was just like old times!

I'd just like to add for those of us who are 'mix' bakers, the Gluten Free Naturals line out of NJ makes the best gluten-free cookie mix I've had. I use it for choc. chip since DH is allergic to the dark choc. in the awesome Pamela's mix. The GFN mix tastes like roll and bake cookies if you like those. The mix does not have choc. in it so you can use the mix to substitute in other cookie recipes and it tells how to do that on the package. This line also offers a wonderful pancake and pizza mix. All their mixes contain soy flour which must have similar properties to wheat.

Sure!

Grain Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

Heat oven to 375.

In medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup Spectrum Shortening (or other shortening), 1/2 cup light brown sugar, 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract, and 1 egg until creamy. Add 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. baking soda, 1+1/4 cup potato starch and 1 cup chocolate chips, and mix until combined and there are no lumps.

Drop from teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes or until very lightly browned. Cool on a rack, and store tightly covered when completely cool.

These are lighter than traditional choc. chip cookies, but are really good!

So how did the chocolate chips cookies turn out? I wish I had read your post about the spreading cookies sooner! Yesterday I made cookies from what must have been that very same recipe....YUMMY cookie dough, but the final product was more like one huge chocolate chip crepe :huh:

(I had chilled the dough just because it worked for my schedule to mix them to be baked later, but did use butter as the recipe called for.)

I am ready to make the potato starch with butter recipe just for snacking today! I havent tried the toll house recipe.. Colin loves jerseys choc chip cookie recipe with shortening. We are in love with the pumpkin cookie recipe.

The pound cake I didnt like from GFP. Almost too sweet.. in some weird way. oh well.. always looking for new ideas!

jerseyangel Proficient

Stephanie,

I'm so glad Colin likes the cookies! :D

jaten Enthusiast

still potato starch, but shortening, not butter. I'll try that next time I need cookies. Sounds delicious. Thanks!

Re: an update on this?

Just curious if anyone could suggest a current gluten free flour that might be bought off the shelf (I'm new to this, so mixing up flours by hand is a bit daunting) and substituted in the tollhouse recipe? Also - shortening instead of butter? Must have Xantham Gum?

I am making these for a Christmas party on Monday, and I need them to turn out correctly! :)

hannahp57 Contributor

pamelas baking mix can be used for regular recipes... but decrease butter/shortening by 1/3 (if calls for 1 cup use 2/3 of a cup) and either should work... another tip to prevent spreading is refridgerating the dough

These are amazing according to DH...I ran across the link in another thread on this site, but don't ask me to remember which one. I was surprised to run across it since I had no idea that Alton Brown (or anyone else on FN) did this kind of recipe.

In 2006 there was no Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix. Now there is. I highly recommend it.

best regards, lm

      Some interesting articles regarding the use of Zinc Carnosine to help heal gastric ulcers, gastritis and intestinal permeability. I would consult a medical professional about it's use. https://www.nature.com/articles/ncpgasthep0778 https://www.rupahealth.com/post/clinical-applications-of-zinc-carnosine---evidence-review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7146259/ https://www.fallbrookmedicalcenter.com/zinc-l-carnosine-benefits-dosage-and-safety/

      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.

      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
