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.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
