It happened AGAIN. and AGAIN....

I HAVE to be doing something wrong. They spread...flat. I followed the Nestle's recipe and used a gluten free flour blend with Xgum added.

Now, they make a great cheesecake crust mind you. BUT they were NOT Chocolate chip cookies.

Help me. My milk is lonely for something to dunk.

Thanks!

Have you tried adding a bit more flour? Like about 1/4 cup?

I add about 1/3 Cup almond butter to mine and love the texture it gives them.

What type of fat are you using? Butter or shortening (I use Spectrum) work the best for me.

Finally, what gluten-free flour mix are you using? I've used Bob's Red Mill (worked great, but the dough tasted yucky before it was baked) and a combo of br. rice, potato and tapioca starch with xanthan gum.

Keep at it - I'm sure you'll have success soon!

I've been using a mix of Sorghum, brown rice, white rice and corn starch. I can't remember where I got the flour mix recipe. Maybe I'll bite the bullet and buy it for cookies. Also, I've been using butter. Maybe I should use shortening...is that better in gluten free recipes? I have a moral dilemma with shortening because it is hydrogenated - unless of course you buy Spectrum which is outrageously expensive around me. Sigh. Maybe I'd be better off without Chocolate Chip cookies ! WAAAAAAA!!!!

Just reread your post, kbabe. What's morally wrong with hydrogenated shortening? :blink:

I have used this recipe and it is very good. You can barely tell that it's gluten free.

Troll House Cookies

Gluten Free Recipe

Ingredients:

1 cup butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 cup granulated sugar

Two eggs

1 teaspoon gluten free vanilla

1-1/2 cup brown rice flour

1/2 cup potato flour (not potato starch flour)

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

One package milk or semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

Cream butter (can use dairy-free margarine or Crisco if necessary), sugars, eggs and vanilla.

Mix in dry ingredients, then chocolate chips.

Drop by rounded teaspoons onto un-greased cookie sheet.

Flatten very slightly with fork.

Bake between 350-375-degrees for 12 minutes or so (temperature and time vary by individual oven -- if yours bakes hot, use the lower temperature).

Remove from oven when lightly browned (they over-brown very quickly).

Remove to cooling rack after a few minutes.

Note: Also good with chopped nuts and/or shredded coconut.

Morally wrong is the not the correct phrasing....healthfully wrong? You know, the evils of hydrogenated oils and trans fats and such....They really aren't too good for you. Okay, so, right, I get it, Chocolate Chip cookies aren't exactly healthfood. LOL :D

Just a thought- if you want cookies so bad, maybe try a mix? I use the Bob's chocolate chip cookie mix when I'm really fiending and in a hurry and they've always baked up very nice. I think there are other mixes out there, but I'm loyal and have been pleased with the results from the Bob's mix.

Here is my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. You've got to try it. The cookies are awesome and they stay soft and chewy for days. I think they are better than "gluten" cookies.

1 c. butter

3/4 c packed brown sugar

1/4 c sugar

1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix

2 eggs

1 t vanilla

2 1/4 c gluten-free flour (*I use Bette Hagaman's Featherlight rice flour mix-see below)

1 t baking soda

1/2 t xanthum gum

2 c semisweet choco chips

Cream butter, sugars, and pudding mix. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda and xanthum gum; gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in chocolate chips. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.

*Bette's Featherlight mix - Exchange "gluten" flour in recipes cup for cup with this flour mix.

Rice flour (1 part)

Tapioca flour (1 part)

Cornstarch (1 part)

Potato flour-NOT starch (1 teas per cup)

I usually make 12 cups worth at a time which would be 4 cups each rice, tapioca and cornstarch and 4 tablespoons potato flour.

Thank you all!!!

i won't be able to experiment again until after the weekend. I'm going to try that last one! WOW...i can imagine the addition of pudding is wonderful.

I've been on the fence about premixing flours, but it looks like it makes great sense. I need to find a big glass jar or something ot keep it in...oh...and a place in my kitchen!!! LOL :D

I have a great choc. chip cookie recipe kbabe, (you know where to look;)

They are chewy and crisp, and a winner with gluten eaters as well.

I was having the problem with mine spreading all over the pan too and just on a whim I added 1/4 C. of flax meal to the mix and WOW! They are the very best cookies I have ever had (gluten or not!). I use the Bette Hagman toll house cookie recipe (using her featherlight mix) and they are awesome. I highly recommend the flax meal to anyone having trouble with spreading cookies. The flax meal is undetectable in the final product and adds and extra buttery flavor.

And then I can claim they are healthy and eat more of them!

The cookie recipe with instant pudding is the one I always made before, it made the best chocolate chip cookies ever and I threw away all my other recipes (including the one on the Toll House bag!) I tried it with the featherlight mix recipe and it was just about as good. You can experiment too--use butterscotch pudding and butterscotch chips (if they are gluten free; I don't know); white chocolate pudding with white chips, etc. I chill the dough a little and roll it into 1" balls and flatten them a little before they go on the cookie sheets and they bake up uniform and pretty. When the tops have little dimples all over they are done; it is easy to overbake. Leave them on the sheets for 5 minutes and they firm up and you can take them off and have nice chewy cookies.

Here's the recipe I use for chocolate chip cookies.

Open Original Shared Link

It's the best recipe I've ever come across. I use a flour mix for the all purpose flour (3 parts white rice, 2 parts potato starch, 1 part tapioca starch) and I add 1 teaspoon xantham gum per cup of flour mix. Enjoy!

I add flax meal to everything I bake. I think it's fabulous, and it does add to the nutritional value...so much of our "replacement" foods are nutrient-poor. Add least it adds something good! :lol:

I've added pudding mix to lots of things before, especially cake. Yellow and chocolate cake, and stuff like pumpkin or spice cake too. For the 'bread' cakes I'll usually add a chunk of sour cream too, it always comes out so incredibly yummy and dense and moist. I never thought of cookies though, I so have to try that.....

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @rei.b, I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be. I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse. My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet. It makes a big difference. Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies. So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
