Chocolate Sugar Cookies

I just converted a family fave and they turned out perfect...YES! :D

Chocolate Sugar Cookies

In saucepan melt together:

4 T. butter (1/2 stick)

2 T. chocolate chips

Remove from heat and stir in:

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup baking cocoa

1/2 tsp. vanilla

Then stir in:

1 egg

Mix well and stir in:

1 cup gluten-free flour mix (I used sorghum, tapioca and cornstarch)

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. xanthan gum

dash of salt

extra sugar for rolling

Mix well. Put pan in fridge to chill dough.

When dough is not sticky, roll into 1" size balls (I got 32).

Roll balls in sugar or finely chopped nuts (press balls into the nuts as you roll).

Place 2-3" apart onto cookie sheet.

Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 7-8 minutes (depends on the size of your balls).

Cookies will puff up, then crackle as they fall.

You could dip these in melted chocolate, sandwich 2 together with a melted large marshmallow or frost and decorate if desired...

(I think if you were to bake them a little longer they will be crispy enough to use as pie crust crumbs)

For snow effect, dust cookies with powdered sugar.

Thank you SO much for this recipe! I made them today and they came out perfect. I was diagnosed with celiac in June - and while I have made several batches of cookies since than, this is the first NOT destined for either the dustbin or at best crumbs for a crust for a pie!

You are welcome!!!

I am glad they turned out for you! It was the first try to convert them to be gluten-free and it worked for me.

Purple, these sound amazing. How much sorghum, cornstach, and the other? Also, is cornstarch better for cookies than potato starch?

Carol's gluten-free flour mix:

1 1/2 cups sorghum

1 1/2 cups potato starch or cornstarch

1 cup tapioca flour

I use cornstarch b/c I can get it at the grocery store and cheaper. Potato starch is an extra trip to the health food store :huh:

Not sure which is better but you can use either one or some of each.

Yay! Just in time for my holiday baking. I recently made this gluten-free shortbread: Open Original Shared Link and boy is it good. These together would make a nice goody basket with some chocolate dipped pretzels.... That's what I'll be giving for gifts to some people, along with choc dipped strawberries and rice krispy treat bites.

      Positive biopsy

      Just one thing I will add that you need to be aware of. If by some chance you had been avoiding gluten or eating less of it than what would be normal for most healthy people, the antibody results for celiac might still be negative. I understand that one of the symptoms of SMA syndrome is difficulty in eating because stuff isn't moving through like it should...

      Positive biopsy

      Your total IgA is normal. This test is run because if you are deficient in IgA the celiac specific IgA tests might not be valid (might not detect celiac disease). Hopefully some of those other tubes of blood will include other tests for celiac antibodies which might include Tissue transglutaminase (TTG) IgA and IgG, Deamidated gliadin (DGP) IgA and IgG,...

      Positive biopsy

      Hi all. Thank you for the responses. I hope I’m responding right, lots of new things this week. I also thought it was a long shot to get any real responses. Clarifications — the positive biopsy was an accidental finding. I had an endoscopy as a precautionary measure. I was recently diagnosed with SMA syndrome and before surgery they wanted the upper end...

      Positive biopsy

      I agree with @trents that the IgA you listed sounds like a total IgA, not celiac-specific, if 114 is normal. Were any other antibody tests run?

      New Study Reveals Age and Racial Gaps in Pediatric Celiac Testing

      The practical takeaway: "For people who care about celiac disease, especially families who have children at higher risk, the findings highlight the importance of self-advocacy." It's the only parameter that the affected individual or their family members have control over. We need to learn to become "politely pushy" in order to get proper testing done when...

I understand that one of the symptoms of SMA syndrome is difficulty in eating because stuff isn't moving through like it should. Valid celiac antibody testing requires the consumption of normal/generous amounts of gluten for weeks/months ahead of the blood draw.

      Your total IgA is normal.  This test is run because if you are deficient in IgA the celiac specific IgA tests might not be valid (might not detect celiac disease). Hopefully some of those other tubes of blood will include other tests for celiac antibodies which might include Tissue transglutaminase (TTG) IgA and IgG, Deamidated gliadin (DGP) IgA and IgG, and Endomysial antibody (EMA).  They don’t all have to be positive to indicate celiac disease. Please let us know the results when you get them.  We will probably then say “welcome to the club you never wanted to join.”

      Hi all. Thank you for the responses. I hope I’m responding right, lots of new things this week. I also thought it was a long shot to get any real responses.  Clarifications — the positive biopsy was an accidental finding. I had an endoscopy as a precautionary measure. I was recently diagnosed with SMA syndrome and before surgery they wanted the upper endo to confirm no other problems were hiding.    I had the bloodwork drawn after the biopsy came back positive. Celiac came out of left field. The result I have of 114 is for total IgA on scale of 70-400 mg/ml. There is allegedly another pending lab (they took 4 tubes, only IgA has resulted and I cannot see pending tests until tests are confirmed).

      What you describe is seronegative villous atrophy (negative antibody tests but positive biopsy). It is uncommon in coeliac disease, and there are other causes, but the most common cause is coeliac disease. I would pursue this with your healthcare provider if possible. Based on clinical history, test results and possible genetic testing for susceptibility to coeliac disease it should be possible to give a diagnosis. There is a bit more here: Seronegative coeliac disease
