Gluten Free, Dairy Free Cookies

I am going to a gluten free cookie swap next month and one of our members (at least one) is also dairy free so I thought I'd try making some cookies they could have. I know someone is making a peanut butter cookie for the event that doesn't call for dairy so I can't make the same. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Also, I don't really know exactly what dairy free means since I only have issues with gluten at this time so I don't know what all I'm trying to avoid using in the cookies. Thanks if anyone can help.

Also, I can give a tip about making gluten free pecan pies for those who like pecans. I use the classic recipe on the Karo syrup bottle but of course this year was my first attempt at making a gluten free crust. I used GFP mix and it was out of this world good - much better than my old gluten Pet Ritz crust of yester year. Anyway, for a Thanksgiving meal on Sat., I made mini pecan pies. I made half the dough from the GFP mix bag. That amount was just a littel more than I needed for 24 mini muffin tin pies. It's tedious to press the dough in each cup but it turned out to be worth the trouble. Once the crusts are formed put the plain chopped pecans in each shell....about 1 1/4 cup of pecans I think. Then fill each cup to the top with the pecan pie filling (everything but the nuts). The nuts of course will rise to the top but if you incorporate the nuts in the filling first, you will not have an equal number of nuts in each pie. I think it took about 40 minutes to bake and in the future I'd bake the crusts for only 5 minutes and then fill as noted abouve. Very important tip: let cool completely before attempting to remove from pan. Also, I had to cover with foil the last ten minutes so they pecans didn't overcook/brown. Oh and I also used reg. shortening instead of butter flavored since the crust already called for butter. I didn't want them to be so buttery tasting and they were just right.

My mother makes merangue (spelled wrong, sorry!) cookies. They are pretty much just egg white, sugar, vanilla and cream of tarter. Sometimes she puts chocolate chips in too. I think I saw the recipie posted a while ago called Forgotten Cookies - you leave them in the oven overnight to cook. You could also decorate with colored sprinkles for a more festive look. Let me know if you'd like the recipie and I'll get it from her.

Merangue cookies sounds like a good idea but WF has some that I can just buy instead of making them since I'm also making choc. chip cookes. Thanks for the idea. Maybe someone will come up with something else though. What about 123 gluten-free pan bars? You use veg. oil with them and eggs. Would those be considered dairy free?

be careful about choc chips - most have dairy, even the semi sweet. Trader Joe's has dairy free semi sweet choc chips.

kolka - the choc. chip cookies are what I'm making for the swap for those who are only gluten free. I just feel bad for the girl who's also dairy free so I'm making something GFDF for her. However we are getting a Trader Joe's here soon so I'll tell her about their gluten-free choc. chips.....that's good to know.

Enjoy Life also has soy free, dairy free, and gluten-free chocolate chips that are excellent--I use them all the time in my chocolate chip cookies.

Hey friend! I am having a cookie exchange next month too--I do it every year, even though I can't eat most of them :) Except in cases of cream cheese or sour cream recipes, I can usually make any gluten-free/cf. I use a flour mix one for one in recipes and sub non dairy milk and earth balance cf butter for all my baking. You've probably seen me mention that before. My FAVORITE chocolate chips are tropical source. They are gluten-free/cf and very rich tasting. If you can get your hands on some they have a much richer chocolately taste than enjoy life's.

For my party, I'm making a gluten-free/cf chocolate cookie with peanut butter filling. I could scan and e-mail it to you if you like. I have a TON of recipes that can be made cf... What type of cookie are you looking for? Any ideas, fruity, chocolately, nutty? E-mail me (I might not be on here again in a while) and I can e-mail you some...

How about the peanut butter cookies that are just 1c peanut butter, 1c sugar, and 1 egg? You could add chocolate chips or press a naked chocolate kiss into it after baking. I'd give more instructions, but I have to go look it up - you could probably find it faster by searching this site.

How about Manischewitz macaroon cookies? Their website lists foods that are free of a given allergen. If the package also says "pareve", it's dairy free also. I'm not sure why they don't just give a list of all their items that are milk free.

Hey thanks for all the great tips everyone but I found a pineapple cake on listserv that doesn't contain gluten or dairy so I'm making that as I found out the cookie swap can be any gluten-free dessert. I'll let you know if the cake is good (trying it this week) and will post recipe if so.

Found another gluten-free/df dessert. You can make 123 gluten-free brownies with veg. oil instead of butter.

      Refractory celiac disease

      By Grahamsnaturalworld · Posted

      Where can I find a gastro in adelaide who can diagnose refractory celiac disease have seen 3 so far and don't understand the most obvious question, why my celiac symptoms did not resolve on a gluten free diet the symptoms just got worse as it is attacking my nervous system.

      GliadinX/Tolerase G

      By ShariW · Posted

      I recently traveled to Spain and Portugal. I was with a tour group, they knew I needed to be gluten-free and made sure the kitchens preparing the group meals were aware. But just in case, I took Gliadin-X with me and took it for every evening meal - and most other meals. The one time I got glutened was from lunch early in the trip - had to be from cross-contamination. I had not taken Gliadin-X before that meal, which made for a pretty miserable day. Learned my lesson... 😞

      Diagnosis confusion

      By Hummer01 · Posted

      Hi trents, thanks for the response.  The 2nd opinion doctor said that if my CRP is still elevated at that time, he would advise me to look at Crohns/UC or another autoimmune issue. The colonoscopy I had this year seemed to rule those 2 out for now so he still believed celiac may explain it. No previous doctors have suggested any explanation for it even after calling to tell me it was a concerning result.  I guess it feels tough knowing I have positive blood testing, permissive genetics, and visible duodenum changes... and somehow it's NCGS instead of celiac. I'm still surprised the biopsies came back negative when the doctor was so sure they would be positive.

      Diagnosis confusion

      By trents · Posted

      "He also said that my CRP should return to a normal level at this time if the culprit was inflammation in the small intestine due to celiac." But with if the elevated CRP levels are caused by some other inflammatory process going on in your body? "She also said that my positive EMA isn't valuable because it has "a high false positive rate." Totally wrong! This is a highly accurate test for celiac disease, that requires specialized expertise to perform and interpret, and it is more expensive than other blood tests. It is generally used as a last test to confirm celiac disease after a positive tTG-IgA test. The sensitivity of a test refers to its ability to correctly identify individuals with the condition. For the EMA-IgA blood test, the sensitivity is generally very high, ranging from 90% to 98%. This means that the test can accurately detect celiac disease in a significant percentage of people who have the condition. The specificity of a test refers to its ability to correctly identify individuals without the condition. For the EMA-IgA blood test, the specificity is also high, typically around 95% to 100%. This indicates that the test can effectively rule out celiac disease in individuals who do not have the condition. Taken from the following article: Looking at the whole picture, I am wondering if you are transitioning from NCGS to celiac disease. Some experts in the gluten disorder field believe NCGS can be a precursor to celiac disease.

      Diagnosis confusion

      By Hummer01 · Posted

      Hi all, just wanted to post an update.  I have been gluten free for about 1.5 months now and seeing improvement already in the bathroom.  Recently I had a visit with another GI doctor for a 2nd opinion. He said that while my blood tests and scope are not a "slam dunk" for celiac, he believes it's more likely than not that I have it. His advice was to stay with a celiac-level gluten free diet (no CC) for 6-12 months then retest to make sure TTG-IGA is still negative. He also said that my CRP should return to a normal level at this time if the culprit was inflammation in the small intestine due to celiac.  Today I had a follow up with the original GI that performed the scope. She is confident it is NCGS and says I can still have gluten sometimes. When I asked about the visible duodenum damage, she said it is just "irritation" from gluten because the biopsies were negative. She also said that my positive EMA isn't valuable because it has "a high false positive rate."  I guess I'm having trouble reconciling the totally different advice from these 2 GI's. I want to believe the new doctor more at this point because what he said just makes more sense to me, and he gave an actionable timeline for possible next steps. Feeling lost and disappointed at this point and wanted to write it down here in case anyone has input. Thank you.
