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)

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.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      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 🤗
