Not Impressed With Pamela's Chocolate Chip Cookies

Small cookies in bag. Also expensive.

Trader Joes Ginger Snaps are better and $1.99

I have noticed gluten-free baked goods taste gritty and very sugary.

These are the best cookies ever...all of my gluten-eating friends loved them, and were shocked to ehar they were gluten-free!

1 cup Peanut Butter

1 cup Brown Sugar

1 egg

1 tsp baking soda

1 cup chocolate chips, nuts, m&m's...

Mix together, put in small-ish balls on a baking sheet, bake at 350*F for 9-11 minutes. So quick and so good!

I totally disagree. The availability, pricing taste and fat content is very impressive for Pamela's Mini Choc Chip Cookies. If you are referring to the large rectangular box on the other hand, I must state I find them dry, crumbly and lacking much flavor.

The good thing is Pamela's is available at many high end groceries these days and that alone is rewarding for those of us wanting a chocolate gluten-free treat nearly anywhere!

People eat M&M's out of choice? That must be the WORST cheapest chocolate on earth. I suggest using anything else made of choc except that candy-ized chocolate they try to pass off as chocolate.

How about cashews & cashew butter or sunflower seed butter? Just a thought.

Agreed!!! . . . with your whole post.

Just like with the gluten stuff . . . gluten free mixes (like the Betty Crocker choc chip cookie mix) taste better than the already made cookies. Likewise, all-the-way-home-made are better than the cookie mixes. Gluten-free cookies are much easier to make (ie, resulting in a good end product) than gluten free bread. It's a great place to "start" with the gluten free baking.

I bought Pam's cookies only once for a pie crust, worked great. But premade are expensive. Here is my favorite choc. chip cookie recipe:

The only thing I do differently is to use sorghum mix instead of the rice flour mix.

IMO, these taste the closest to gluten cookies. And I stopped using parchment paper.

P.C.T. but M&M's are pretty in cookies, yeah I know, full of artificial junk...I use semisweet chips and M&M's only on occasion.

I guess it is a matter of opinion. Good that there is even an option, I guess. I would rather just have some good quality chocolate bar.

I have not seen the Betty Crocker mixes in any of the stores I shop.

I am really more concerned with finding real main meal food, first. I just thought a snack would be nice.

I tried one again. Just OK, for me.

I do think there are decent chips and pretzels, cracker snacks.

I *love* M&Ms!!

And I'm definitely (probably anyway) going to try that recipe.

I'm not a big fan of those either. I really haven't found many packaged cookies I like. Kinnikinnick K-Toos are like oreos, I do like those. And the Kinnikinnick chocolate chip cookies are a bit like Chips Ahoy, but smaller. Also, the Enjoy Life snickerdoodles are okay...not spectacular, but okay.

I used to never cook, and the biggest blessing to come out of Celiac has been learning to bake. I've tried several cookbooks, with okay results. But the best in my opinion is Baking Classics by Annelise Roberts. She has one mix for her baked goods, which makes things easy. I thought I had made good chocolate chip cookies until I tried her recipe.....really, really good stuff. And cupcakes....I think they are the greatest food on earth :D . Little bites of heaven, I try to make them often to always have a treat on hand (and loads of homemade frosting, yum).

The gluten free palate seems so varied, some people love certain products, and some hate them. Keep trying...there are some good things out there!

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

      Yes, I have noticed a big difference. I had serious malnutrition symptoms that my doctors couldn't figure out, so they blamed me, said I was "depressed" and washed their hands of me. At home, I could feel myself dying, and, with nothing left to lose, I relied on knowledge from my microbiology and nutrition classes at university. I went gluten free. I...

      Yes, I would be good with the diagnosis. While NCGS isn't a malabsorptive disease like celiac disease, inflammation and restricted diets can impact Vitamin D levels. Recovery from either disease requires avoiding gluten. celiac disease may take a longer recovery than NCGS because in celiac disease there is intestional damage to the cilia that has...

      Yes, I have noticed a big difference.  I had serious malnutrition symptoms that my doctors couldn't figure out, so they blamed me, said I was "depressed" and washed their hands of me.  At home, I could feel myself dying, and, with nothing left to lose, I relied on knowledge from my microbiology and nutrition classes at university.  I went gluten free.  I started taking vitamins according to my nutritional deficiency symptoms.  Vitamins worked.  My health improved.  Now I'm here to help others.  Celiac disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition.  Doctors don't recognize the symptoms of Celiac disease and malnutrition. Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing and digestion, improves diabetes and neuropathy and much more.  TTFD (Thiamax or TTFD-B1 Max) helps with brain function, neuropathy and lots more.  Every cell in the body needs thiamine to make energy so the cell can function.  Without sufficient thiamine, mitochondria die.  Every cell also needs thiamine and the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes.  Thiamine has antiviral and antibacterial properties.   We may not be getting sufficient thiamine from our diets if we eat a lot of carbohydrates.  The more carbs one eats the more thiamine is needed to process them into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine, the body stores the carbs as fat. This is called high calorie malnutrition.   We may not be getting sufficient thiamine from our diets if we eat a gluten free diet.  Gluten free flours and processed foods are not required to be enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts.  Meats are the best sources of thiamine, but some veggies (beans, potatoes, squash) and fruits (citrus and berries) contain some thiamine.    Explore thiamine more here: https://hormonesmatter.com/thiamine-deficiency-causes-problems/

      Yes, I would be good with the diagnosis.  While NCGS isn't a malabsorptive disease like celiac disease, inflammation and restricted diets can impact Vitamin D levels.  Recovery from either disease requires avoiding gluten.  celiac disease may take a longer recovery than NCGS because in celiac disease there is intestional damage to the cilia that has to self repair in addition to the nutritional deficiencies.   Nonceliac Gluten Sensitivity Dr. Weston Price's research in the 1930s showed that diets rich in minerals and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D3, K2) promoted well-mineralized teeth, while deficiencies led to weaker enamel. Fatty liver, Intermittent diarrhea, Severe abdominal distension Choline deficiency causes abnormal deposition of fat in the liver, which results in a condition called nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. In some people, choline deficiency causes muscle damage. https://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/other-nutrients/choline    Choline is a large part if the bile salts for fat digestion, Acetycholine, a neural transmitter, mitochondria membrane structure, and along with folate, B12, and B6 recycles homocysteine  High homocysteine can damage artery linings. Low vitamin D levels are associated with increased symptoms of depression and anxiety,  autoimmune diseases and most of your symptoms.
