Alton Brown

Tonights episode of Alton Brown was called Sub Standards and featured substitution recipes and ideas if you didn't have bread flour or buttermilk what you could use instead but....

he also covered if you had health reasons for not using foods, what you could do instead. So he talked all about gluten and what it is and then he re-did a past show's chewy cookie recipe and made it gluten-free!

As far as I know this was a new episode, but if it is old news sorry for a post about this. But Alton Brown's recipe for Chocolate Chip gluten-free cookies is as follows (I haven't tried it yet, since I just saw the episode 2 hours ago, but I always love his stuff, so these couldn't be bad :) )

Open Original Shared Link

8 ounces unsalted butter

11 ounces brown rice flour, approximately 2 cups

1 1/4 ounces cornstarch, approximately 1/4 cup

1/2-ounce tapioca flour, approximately 2 tablespoons

1 teaspoon xanthan gum

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 ounces sugar, approximately 1/4 cup

10 ounces light brown sugar, approximately 1 1/4 cups

1 whole egg

1 egg yolk

2 tablespoons whole milk

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Melt the butter in a heavy-bottom medium saucepan over low heat. Once melted, pour into the bowl of a stand mixer.

In a medium bowl, sift together the rice flour, cornstarch, tapioca flour, xantham gum, salt and baking soda. Set aside.

Add both of the sugars to the bowl with the butter and using the paddle attachment, cream together on medium speed for 1 minute. Add the whole egg, egg yolk, milk and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Slowly incorporate the flour mixture until thoroughly combined. Add the chocolate chips and stir to combine.

Chill the dough in the refrigerator until firm, approximately 1 hour. Shape the dough into 2-ounce balls and place on parchment-lined baking sheets, 6 cookies per sheet. Bake for 14 minutes, rotating the pans after 7 minutes for even baking. Remove from the oven and cool the cookies on the pans for 2 minutes. Move the cookies to a wire rack and cool completely. Store cooked cookies in an airtight container.

Enjoy!

Thank you so much for posting this! I LOVE Good Eats!

Very interesting that he uses egg AND egg YOLK! I bet he has some kind of sophisticated explanation about fat globules and protein, or something like that! I think I'll try that combination in my next cookie recipe!

I am a huge AB fan, and yesterday was a really rough day for me... I have been feeling really miserable and unable to get any doctors to call me back about pain management that I was seriously considering eating a pizza. (I know, I know, it was not sane or rational, but I was really hurting and at the time it just felt like if I am going to be in pain anyway, may as well enjoy part of it.)

Seeing Alton whipping up a batch of gluten free cookies, it warmed my heart and kept me to my cucumber salad for dinner. I am really excited to try them out!

My husband called me into the room to see what Alton was doing.

I was thrilled to see media buzz about gluten-free cooking! We love goods eats! We watch it a few times a week.

I spend so much time in the trenches trying to take good care of my celiac kids. (As all of you do.)

Our cookie recipe is very good, but I will happily try Alton's.

I appreciate the media buzz. I appreciate the awareness that is created by the buzz.

Thank you Alton!

My wife just burst into my office. She made me switch away from the Daily Show to a cooking show, but it was neat to see gluten-free on the TV!

      9 y/o Son Diagnosed with Celiac Disease; Persistent Symptoms: Does this Sound Familiar?

      I was diagnosed celiac 5 years ago. I know for certain that casein, grains, beans, seeds, and some other famous lectin issue foods are problems for me. When I was newborn, I had a huge issue with intolerance to milk. Five years ago before my celiac diagnosis, I had Irish cheddar cheese sold by Kerrie and it felt like an explosion in my intestines.

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      @Heatherisle, I'm so happy that your daughter had her B12 checked! B12 needs all the B vitamins to work properly. A B Complex should be taken to ensure there are plenty of B vitamins to allow B12 to function properly. It's very rare to have only one or two low vitamins in Celiac Disease. B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted...

      I found out the hard way that water filters can have starch binders that bind the charcoal used in the filter.  Grain starch or gluten can be present in the filter. I’ve been exposed and had reactions.  Steam distilled water is safe.  Not all places have the distilled gallon containers commonly sold, but smart water is steam distilled and has been safe so far.

When I was newborn, I had a huge issue with intolerance to milk. Five years ago before my celiac diagnosis, I had Irish cheddar cheese sold by Kerrie and it felt like an explosion in my intestines. I’m not sure if the casein was worse or the naturally occurring cheese mold in aged cheddar did it. I am IgG sensitive to yeast. Casein, yeast, or mold in the cheese might have been part or equally bad.

      Water filters are a potential problem for Celiac Disease

      By YoshiLuckyJackpotWinner888 · Posted

      We really need to become more aware of this. When I first had my celiac diagnosis 5 years ago, I searched out all possible sources of gluten.  I only recently became aware of filtered water being a potential source of gluten and other grain starch contamination. Gluten exposure in the past, for me, has brought upon distinct repeatable points of bodily pain which I am now aware of. If I purposely expose myself to gluten, I seem to have antibodies attack certain areas of my body which cause this reaction within 30 minutes of exposure. I can tell rather quickly if I was exposed and it never happens, unless gluten is present. In the past 5 years since my diagnosis , I may have noticed occasional pains or odd sensations after drinking bottled water that was filtered.  It never made sense to me why this was happening.  A few months ago I was at a gas station and purchased a Gatorade filtered water bottle product. Within 30 minutes, I had pains associated with gluten exposure that I had not felt for years. I knew it had to be the water bottle contents because nothing else was consumed all day. This was a wake up call for me. I searched and found out a thread about water filters containing starch binders to bind charcoal, which is used commonly, and I found out that grains are potentially used for the starch source.  Gluten is in certain grains, and according to a study in the past two years, many grain proteins and casein from dairy can cross react with celiac. This Gatorade water bottle had water that was likely filtered with a filter that may have had actual gluten. I am also sensitive to the other cross reactive proteins from grains and casein, but the pains that day were distinct. I can absolutely tell the difference if I come into contact with corn or other grains. The reaction is different. My point is bottled water that has been filtered can potentially be exposing us, if they use starch binders from grain products. We have no real practical way of knowing what water filters may have inside of them, unless a law requires disclosure on the label. This is not only going to affect bottled water, but also all products that were made with filtered water. Since cross reactions to other grain proteins is now a real issue, simply stating  gluten free is not enough. How can you know if your store bought lemonade does not have filtered water with gluten or other grain protein contamination?  Did that kombacha you just drank happen to have filter contamination of corn and you suddenly feel a headache and odd chest pains? Distilled water may be the only safe bottled water. We can’t trust water filters until the law changes and requires processing plants to disclose these contaminants.  I don’t ever have a problem with distilled water as long as it was steam distilled.  Regular bottled water has set off noticeable sensations and pains over 5 years of observing these. The Gatorade water was the worst and most alarming.  Stay safe.

      @Heatherisle, I'm so happy that your daughter had her B12 checked! B12 needs all the B vitamins to work properly.  A B Complex should be taken to ensure there are plenty of B vitamins to allow B12 to function properly.  It's very rare to have only one or two low vitamins in Celiac Disease.  B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted in urine.  Tingling in feet and hands is symptomatic of deficiencies in B vitamins like thiamine, Pyridoxine, and niacin. September 19 2025, "Your daughter needs to be checked for Vitamin B12 deficiency as soon as possible!   The nitrogen compounds in anesthesia can precipitate a B12 deficiency resulting in severe depression.  Please have her checked immediately! The nitrogen compounds in anesthesia (both gas and injected anesthesia) bind irrevocably with the Cobalt in Cobalamine Vitamin B12.  This precipitates a B12 deficiency in people with a low B12 level.  This can happen immediately, within days or weeks or months depending on B12 stores.    I've had medical procedures that required anesthesia and been struck down by deep dark depression and uncontrollable crying immediately, and also within weeks of the exposure.  My doctor put me on antidepressants which only made things worse.  Antidepressants don't correct a vitamin deficiency.   Please have her checked for B12 deficiency as soon as possible!"
