Spritz Cookies

I found a fabulous recipe for spritz cookies in Bette Hagman's book, but I can't get them to stick to the cookie sheet from the cookie press. I ended up rolling them like sugar cookies, which worked (They were really easy to roll, not too sticky) They are PHENOMENAL, but I want to press them for the designs. Any suggestions? :blink:

Is the dough chilled?

Are you using a Silpat or a nonstick cookie sheet? If so, that could be the problem. I have not tried making gluten-free ones. But many years ago I made countless batches of regular Spritz. The best cookie sheet I had for the job was an expensive double walled one. I think it was called Airbake. It was not non-stick.

Another thought would be instead of pressing them to stamp a design into the top. My mom got a cookie stamp somewhere when we were on vacation. It was made of clay and came in various designs. It worked for Spritz cookies. You would merely form a ball, then press it down on the top. It left a raised design.

I have used a lot of bad words trying to get Spritz cookies to come out of the press and stick to the pan, regular or gluten-free, over many years. Rarely does it work exactly as it should. Now I just use the shapes that make a single long "snake" or bar and cut those into pieces. I was so lazy I just rolled out the last batch between sheets of plastic wrap, cut it into squares, and baked them.

I had same recipe same problem! I am glad you posted this!! I too am eager to find a good recipe. My dough was chilled. The only thng I miss about regular flour is its ease of use!

My dough was chilled and I tried 3 different types of baking sheets that I had, thinking the non-stick was the issues too. The dough was "greasy", but I couldn't figure out a way to change that. The dough was SOOO good, though! (well, not raw, but once cooked! I am not a fan of bean flour, so I was hesitant. But it was SOO worth it! :blink: ) I love the stamp idea!

I got that book for Christmas and used the same recipe and I loved it. I used the double walled Airbake that I got years ago and did not have a problem. I also like the pecan sandies recipe in the same book.

      Thank you. These were the results TTG ABS NUMERICAL: > 250.0 U/mL [< 14.99]  Really don’t understand the results!

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products
