Chewy Oatmeal Cookies

Hi! I've been out of town for a week (sorry no gluten free menu last week...I'm getting one together for next week though!). We had a great time, although being out of my own kitchen meant getting glutened all over the place...it reminded me how hard it was to cut gluten out in the first place (crumbs in the mayo, butter, peanut butter...you know the drill. Sigh)

Anyway, my stepmom found this recipe for cookies that turned out so good! Here it is (use dairy free margarine if you can't have the dairy, they taste just the same!):

1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened (substitute soy and dairy free)

3 large eggs

1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter

1 tsp. gluten-free vanilla extract

1 tsp light corn syrup

4 1/2 cups gluten free oats (Bob's Red Mill are the most reasonably priced!)

1 cup semi sweet gluten-free chocolate chips

1 cup gluten-free candy coated chocolate pieces (dark chocolate M&M's...yum!)

2 teaspoons baking soda

beat sugars and butter at low speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs and next 3 ingredients, beating until combined. Stir in oats and remaining ingredients.

Drop by tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.

Bake, in batches, at 350 for 15 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool

Wondered where you were, Rissa!

Do you know, id there any substitute for the corn syrup? Or I wonder how they'd do just leaving it out... It's not something I generally have in my cupboard. They sound yummy!

Thanks, guys! Ridgewalker...yeah, I don't keep corn syrup around either (in fact I try to avoid it!). The recipe doesn't call for much at all, so I think it's safe to just leave it out. The other thought I had was to substitute maple syrup...maybe add a touch more than it calls for in the recipe. I think it would give them a nice flavor, too. Let me know if you try it!

I have been making these cookies for a long time. They are a huge hit with gluten free people and other non-gluten free people. I love them...but I would be concerned about eliminating the corn syrup...my fear, they would become very crumbly and would fall apart very easily!

Hmmm, I can see where that might happen....would the maple syrup maybe work instead? Or you could add honey (maybe more honey than the corn syrup)? Another option would be to add some xanthan gum, which would help the chewy factor. I'll have to try them w/out the corn syrup and see! Or if anyone else does, let us know how it goes ;)

Those are good ideas for alternatives. Since I don't make them often (mainly around holidays or such) I will stick with the corn syrup, especially since it is only 1 tsp. But yes, if anyone else does the others, please let us know. I am very interested in how it would go.

How do Bob's Red Mill oats bake up? The oats I have (Bob's) are more like grains of kasha rather than the flaky Quaker Oats. Do the oat "kernals" bake up well?

I use Bob's Red Mill gluten-free whole grain "rolled" oats. They look and act like Quaker Old Fashioned style oats compared to Quick oats. I make muffins and cookies with them. I pulse them in the blender 3 or 4 times to "chew" them up a little otherwise I find that they are a little tough (then they look more like Quick oats). I made no-bake cookies without pulsing them and the cookies were too chewy. They work great. I have not tried them in the recipe that started this thread but I am sure they will be fine if you use the rolled oats. The kernals I have never used before.

I tried this recipe to take to a potluck with the Gluten Eaters yesterday. I pulsed the Bob's Red Mill oats in my food processor a few times to break them up a bit. I also subbed 1 C sweetened flaked coconut for the M&M's. They turned out plenty chocolatey for me with that change. Overall, they turned out great, and we had none to bring home. :angry: I had several people ask me for the recipe. THe only other change I made was that I lined my cookie sheets with parchmant paper, and I let them sit for a few minutes when I took them out of the oven. When they first came out, they were a little soft to be taking off the cookie sheet.

Thanks for posting.

F.Y.I. - I made these cookies yesterday, but I didn't use the light corn syrup (I didn't even increase the sugar content). I also used baking powder instead of baking soda because I didn't use the corn syrup (powder has a little cream of tartar and cornstarch, so it can help a bit with stabilizing and binding during the cooking process). And as someone suggested, I also pulsed the Bob's Red Mill gluten free oats a bit to make them a little less chewy. They tasted great and are even better today. For all of you concerned about the corn syrup, I don't think it's absolutely needed. Although, without trying it with the corn syrup, it might make them yummier with the added sweetness. But we found them sweet enough without.

Now back to my 3rd cookie of the day!

I made these cookies substituting agave nectar for the corn syrup. They turned out perfectly and they are so delicious.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around. The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me. Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients. The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus! Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
