Hey all! I am at college and don't have much time for baking. Luckily, my cafeteria will reemburse me for food I bring in - so now I get to try some cookies! I am also allergic to soy... so in your opinion, what is the best gluten free cookie and why? Explainations like "it was not dry" or "the flavor was nice" are specially helpful..

I really liked Enjoy Life Snickerdoodles. They are very cinnamon-y and chewy. :)

Unfortunately, I've not found a cookie yet that I've really liked... store bought or homemade. I guess I just have too good a memory of good old chocolate chip/toll house cookies and every one I've tried has either a gritty/crumbly texture or is too chewy/doughy.

Sorry... baked desserts just aren't in my diet anymore... and I used to love to bake!

My daughter likes Enjoy Life Snickerdoodles, chocolate chip, apple and lemon. She did like the brownie but went off of them. She also likes the Andean Dream chocolate chip, but not the other flavors.

I am also a snickerdoodle fan (dh hates them) and I also enjoyed TJ's gingersnaps and mini meringues.

Pamela's Pecan Shortbread and Shortbread Swirl Cookies are awesome! :)

They have a delicate flavor, and are not dust-dry like a lot of gluten free baked goods tend to be.

I've used the Pecan Shortbread Cookies crunched up as the basis for a crust for cheesecake....yum!!

Yeah, I wish I could have tried those, but Pamela uses potato starch :(

Love Pamela's. Right texture and great taste. Also NaNa's makes some incredible cookies. They are very moist good flavor. Only drawback is a little texture issue. I can't exactly explain it. I know I said they are moist, and they are, but the texture feels a little dry. Maybe it has to do with the flour they use. Definitely worth a try.

Thanks everyone! Keep the cookies coming!

So far I am a fan of Nana's and I haven't tried all the Pamelas yet.. or TJ's... Anyone ever done Whole Foods cookies too?

I thought Whole Foods cookies were fantastic (the ones from the Gluten Free Bakeshop) but I can't eat tapioca or soy and just about all of their things contain one or the other or both. They tasted to me like "regular" bakery cookies--the molassas one comes to mind.

OK, my son is the Celiac and I'm the baked goods lover (and not a Celiac). Here are my favorites (yes, I LOVE gluten-free cookies!):

Premade:

Pamela's Chocolate Chunk (actually I like most Pamela's, and the ones I don't like are because I don't like that type of cookie, having nothing to do with it being gluten free) We buy these by the case from Amazon and they never last long enought!

Glutino Wafer Cookies

Whole Foods Frozen Molasses (and my son loves the raisin nutmeal ones)

Apple's Bakery Molasses Gems

Mix:

Gluten Free Sensations

Whole Foods 365 Days gluten-free Chocolate Chip Cookies

I know you asked about cookies, but also French Bakery has great frozen brownies.

Enjoy your cookies!

Yeah, my family used to fight over the chocolate chip ones, all but the nutmeal raisin ones have soy though.

The Trader Joe's ginger snaps are really delicious, but they have soy lecithin in them.

For boxed cookies, I love the Glutino chocolate covvered wafers and the chocolate filled bites. No idea as to soy status, i don't have any in the house to check. The Pamela's mini choc chip cookies in a bag are pretty tasty. And the Kinikinnick Smore'ables REALLY taste like graham crackers.

Thank you for all the suggestions!! I've never heard of Apple Bakery... and do you mean French MEADOW Bakery?

I must agree that I love the frozen cookies from Whole foods. I'm actually getting ready to eat my last peanut butter one and start thawing out my chocolate chip cookies. I live about an hour from the closest Whole foods though, so I always stock up...... Think I need a new freezer!

Sorry, yes, it probably is French Meadow. I was going from memory.

You can order online from Apple's Bakery.

I can only do store-bought cookies :(

Anyone else have favorites?

Glutino is by far the best in my opinion. they have the wafer cookies and some oreo copies the. i dont know the soy status on any of their products though. sorry!

pamela's are also very good. the chocolate chip and dark chocolate and butter cookies are my favorites. they are all a little on the dry side as far as cookies go but for me the flavor was good enough i didnt mind a little dry feeling :lol:

i like kinnikinnik graham crackers. good texture and very yummy. they make a good cheesecake crust too! and their k-toos are good but those are a strange cookie. they dont really taste like anything. just sweet enough to curb a sweet craving. kinnikinnik oreo copies are probably my favorite gluten free packaged cookies. if those are soy free they are by far my first recommendation!

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease. Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗
