I just tried a Pamela's shortbread choc and vanilla swirl cookie. Not a fan. Are there any store bought gluten and nut free cookies that are really good? I have been making my own choc. chip cookies out of the Betty Crocker mix but sometimes I just want one without having to bake.

Thanks!

I like Glutino Lemon Wafers...don't buy them very often as I like them way too much! Actually that's the only gluten-free cookie I've tried in spite of the fact that there may be hundreds of varieties out there.

Never found one I would buy again....ever.

I eat a Snickers if I need a sweet and don't want to bake.

Bake Chocolate chip cookies once a week....so they are a staple...right after the protein and vitamins!

Hope you find a cookie you like.

All of the faux oreos I've tried have been quite decent. Nothing else has. I eat chocolate.

I have not tried that type of Pamelas but I like all the ones I have tried. I eat the ginger snaps whenever my stomach is upset. And the soft ginger cookies with almonds are great too. I also like the chocolate chip..I'm not sure if those are nut free, sorry. I didn't really like the Enjoy Life chocolate chip cookies, but they changed the recipe recenlty so I might try them again. I see alot of differnt types of gluten-free cookies but so many have soy or dairy in them so I can't try them. I make a lot of flourless PB cookies instead. Perhaps you could make sunbutter cookies if you can have sunflower butter?

I had Glutino's chocolate chip cookies a year ago -pretty good in my opinion but expensive and there are just so few of them!

I have not found any cookies/baked treats that I find palatable so make my own - usually shortbread, chocolate chip, brownies or butterscotch brownies, meringues, banana bread...but then I love baking. :P

I was baking my own but since giving up eggs and nuts :( I haven't tried much baking .

When I did bake my own ,my favorites were black bean brownies and flourless peanut butter cookies

my daughter bakes quite a bit but I dont eat much of that because she uses potato starch/flour alot.

I LOVE Pamela's chocolate chunk...since they're technically my son's (I don't have Celiac), I think that's a good testimonial. I also love Glutino's chocolate wafer cookies. My son doesn't like baked goods as much as I do, so unfortunately when I buy them "for him" I am usually the one to eat most of them!

I think Dr Lucy's are the best. They carry them at Earth Fare and Amazon. Mi-del ginger snaps are not bad and in my local store (Earth Fare) they are much cheaper than Dr Lucy's.

I made the Betty Crocker chocolate chip cookies last week and while I've heard others give them less-than-stellar reviews, I liked them.

However, I'm notorious for slightly underbaking cookies (I leave them in for 6 or 6 1/2 minutes instead of 8-10) because I like them to stay soft.

The ones I made last week lasted 5 days in a sealed container and were soft even on the last day. While my first impression was that there was a slightly gritty taste, I didn't think it was bad and I had just had normal chocolate chip cookies a few days prior (just before beginning the diet.)

I just thought I'd mention that homemade cookies freeze very well. I like to make a big batch and keep them in the freezer. They taste better and cost less. I do keep other treats on hand (pudding cups, ice cream, or gluten-free candy) in case I have run out of cookies and need a treat.

I love the Pamelas's pancake/baking mix for homemade chocolate chip cookies.

Pamela's pre-made chocolate, chocalate chunk for making a cookie crumb crust for cheesecakes and such.

Liz Lovely makes AWESOME gluten free, organic, vegan cookies. I order by the case on-line. YUM! but oh so expensive.

As a side note... I did some modifications on some recipes for a roll out sugar cookie. Gluten and egg free (sorry it has dairy) it really works well. I'm working on making a roll freezing it, cutting it and/or rolling it out. It seems to be a really great dough. My concern is people will have to have a gluten free flour to roll the dough out and cut into shapes. Does someone know how to go about mass producing it for the open market?

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
