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!

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Celiac getting dentures

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.
