Anyone Ever Made gluten-free Fortune Cookies?

My son wants to try making fortune cookies using a gluten-free flour mix and some xanthan gum. Have any of you tried this, and if so did it work?

The only recipe we have is a conventional recipe using wheat flour. We were going to try converting it. I'm just afraid it may not hold together well enough.

There are 3 of 4 fortune cookie recipes in Roben Ryberg's latest cookbook. I have not tried them yet, so I cannot vouch for their results.

Thanks for the replies. I'm happy to hear that we can make authentic cookies from cornstarch! If we don't have success with that, then we'll start experimenting. My son has already made up the fortunes, but he won't let me read them.... :rolleyes:

I've made fortune cookies a few times. I have never used any flour at all. The recipes I have used are very similar to the cornstarch one listed above. Word of advice with fortune cookies: Only make one, maybe two at a time. Key to the whole thing is working with the cookies when they are still quite warm and pliable, because once they set up, there is no going back and getting them to be flexible again. You basically have about a minute, maybe a minute and a half to be able to manipulate and fold the cookies up. Don't get anxious and try baking six or seven at once, unless you have a crew of helpers, because you'll wind up with a couple of nice fortune cookies and four or five discs.

      Tammy, who is saying they aren't safe for celiacs? Are you saying that is stated on the product packaging itself or that you are reading where people on forums like this one are claiming they aren't safe? Who is "they"?
    • Scott Adams
      If a product is labelled "gluten-free" it is considered to be safe for people with celiac disease (in the USA they need to test below 20 ppm). Some people prefer to eat only foods that are certified gluten-free, which are supposed to test below 10 ppm, however, they don't always test this low.
    • Tammy Pedler
      Why are so many gluten free items not safe for celiacs. I read labels all the time. I don’t know how many times they say that and are not safe for people who have celiacs. So confused. Help….

      Welcome to the forum, @Jay Heying! What is the reason your doctor is recommending this?
