Chocolate Chip Cookies

Hello there!

This is my very first post on this forum. My boyfriend has a gluten allergy and I would like to make him some amazing chocolate chip cookies. I have a GREAT recipe, but of course, it calls for regular white flour.

They are the type that spread out quite a bit and come out thin and crispy (probably due to all the butter!). :)

Is there a certain kind of gluten free flour sub that I can use? My first thought was almond or coconut flour, but then again ... what do I know? :)

My biggest concern is consistency because the best part about these cookies (besides the taste) is how thin and crispy they are.

Would love your thoughts and suggestions.

Thank you!

You could buy a box of the King Arthur gluten free flour and use that. Betty Crocker has a gluten free chocolate chip cookie mix that is really good as well. :)

I use my old pre-gluten-free recipe and it spreads out for a crispy cookie with Namasta all purpose flour blend and it works fine, actually my kids didn't realize they were gluten-free at first and I've taken them to parties and no one notices :rolleyes:

I have made both the King Arthur and Betty crocker cookies mixes. They are good but definitely not thin and crispy. I know what you what and those are not it.

I have made CC Tollhouse recipe with King Arthur gluten-free flour(not cookie mix ) and it absolutely spreads and gets crispy. My hubby loves it that way so he really enjoyed. I prefer the soft cookie so I make the mix for me.

I have not used Namaste , yet.

Thank you so much for the ultra quick responses!

I went with the Namaste Flour Blend ... (I'm in a time crunch and the other online reviews are great!).

I will post an update after I bake the cookies! :)

Thanks again!

      Confused About Results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38, Diabetes and Celiac often go hand in hand.  Having more than one autoimmune disease is common with Celiac.  I'd err on the side of caution and go gluten free.   I did not want to go on insulin, either.  I got my diabetes under control by following the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne).  My diet now does include carbs.   We're supporting you through this difficult time.

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38,  I've been there with horrible symptoms and diarrhea accidents and diabetes and the insulin conundrum!  My doctors were just as frustrating!   I had nutritional deficiencies.  I know your doctors refuse to test for this.  So did mine, saying "I can't make money prescribing vitamins."  Some members say a naturopathic doctor is more open to testing for deficiencies.  Remember not to start supplementing until after testing is done.  Otherwise the supplements will raise your blood levels falsely.   I had studied Nutrition at university, so I decided to supplement essential vitamins and minerals.  A B Complex, extra Thiamine (Benfotiamine) for the diabetes, magnesium and...

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Though trying to diligently eat gluten free, recent bloodwork was bad so searching for culprits.  Eat lot of (preferably mixed) nuts.  Most allergen labels say may be processed on equpment that also processes wheat, etc.  Finally found ONE kind (unsalted mixed) at BJ's.  Wessley (their store brand) that did not contain that warning.  Says in large letters "A GLUTEN FREE FOOD."  Well, all nuts are a gluten free FOOD!  Have been eating and now wonder if this is intentionally decieving.  So stopped eating until find culprit.  Nuts are so good for protein and fiber (especially if trying to not eat meat).  'Tis so frustrating.  Thanks to above, I'll look into Tierra Farms.

      Yasso frozen yogurt bars - be careful

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Despite being very diligent about eating gluten free, my recent bloodwork was bad.  So been on a mission to find the culprit(s).  During Covid my daughter found "certified gluten free" Yasso mint chocolate chip yogurt bars at Costco.  I was elated and have been eating them since.  When delving into possible culprits I discovered that the boxes with 12 bars at both Costco and BJ's no longer say "certified gluten free."  But the boxes with 4 bars at groceries and Target still say "certified gluten free."  Contacted the manufacturer and was told to go by what the box says.  So guess different machinery is used.  Was also told they were in the process of changing boxes.  Will be interesting to see...
