Cookies Anyone?

[Guest imsohungry]

Chocolate chip cookies, galore!

I made 3 1/2 dozen yesterday...and they actually turned out good! My husband licked the batter and ate almost a dozen throughout the day They were fairly moist (although, as with most cookies, one batch came out a little over brown and crunchy...but still tasty). I just had to share that something turned out good on my very first attempt! (which as we all know, isn't that easy to do when trying to go gluten-free)

I'll be glad to post the ingredients if anyone is interested (although, I'm at work at the moment.

Have a blessed day everyone! -Julie

I'd love to have the recipe, they sound great.

Does anyone else know of a gluten-free Shortbread cookie recipe?

Thanks!

Hi Dana,

I just got home; I'll be happy to post the recipe:

gluten-free-Chocolate Chip Cookies:

3/4 C sugar

3/4 C brown sugar (firmly packed)

1 C butter or margarine

1 egg

mix together; then add:

2 1/4 C Gluten-free Flour Mix (sifted)

1 tsp. xan. gum

1 tsp. unflavored gelatin

12 oz. chocolate chips

Bake @ 350 for 10-14 minutes

Tips I found helpful:

Let the oven preheat well

I used gluten-free/CF chocolate chips; although that was a personal thing-not necessary

I used 1/2 Spectrum (tra?) gluten-free/CF margerine and 1/2 regular butter

I made sure to pack the brown sugar and sift the flour mix well (I used Bob's R.M.)

The recipe made 3 1/2-4 dozen "average" cookies or it can make 6 dozen ity-bity cookies

Enjoy! -Julie

Also, for the cooking-challenged (or those who just don't like to cook), Arrowhead Mills has a choc. chip cookie mix--amazing cookies

celiac3270,

Is the mix expensive? The only reason that I made my own is because I can make 12 dozen for the price of 2 dozen sent by Ener-G...and surprisingly enough, mine tasted better! But I've never tried the Arrowhead Mills brand though, I like some of their cereals....I'm always looking for "quick fix" junk food too! Thank you for the suggestion. I don't always have time to cook, but really, it didn't take but about 45 minutes to make all of those cookies this weekend...not to bad

I have two boxes in the cabinet -- one cost $3.59, the other, $3.69. They make a nice amount of cookies, too. I have LOVED everything I've tried from Arrowhead Mills: the Rice and Shine hot cereal, the chocolate chip cookies, and the white cake is pretty good, too.

I thought I would share this recipe, straight from Nestle today:

Thank you for contacting Nestl

Julie (Imsohungry), I made your chocolate chip cookies yesterday. What flour mix do you use? (I'm one of those people that pick and choose flour now like I once would choose between types of tea! Hmm, what do I feel like using today... )

I used 2/3+1/4 c chickpea flour, 2/3 c soy flour and 2/3 c quinoa flour. I should have thought about the quinoa flour having a strong flavor, but I didn't. I baked a sheet's worth yesterday and tried one. Sorta blech (but my husband said they were okay.) Anyway, this morning while opening presents, I brought the rest of that batch down. My eldest tried one and announced VERY LOUDLY (he's loud in the first place ) that these were the most awesome chocolate chip cookies ever! Baffled, I tried one and, omigosh, they are the best! Whatever it is about the recipe and the flours, they melded into a very decedant treat. Mmmm! (So I baked the rest of the batch today and am not letting anyone eat them until tomorrow.)

Thank you for posting the recipe!

Hey Freya! I'm so glad that the cookies baked well for you!!! Happy Holidays! I'm actually making the cookies too for a "Christmas treat"...the hubby loves them, and I've got to admit that I'm hooked as well

You asked what flour I use...mostly the Bob's Red Mill gluten-free flour mix, and that is because I live in a rather rural area and it is sold at Kroger (our local grocery). I would love to experiment with many different flours, but gosh, it's expensive! So, I'm slowly restocking everything and adding variety when I can afford it

I'm just so tickled those cookies turned out for you and your family! Enjoy the holidays

Much hugs and happy baking! -Julie
