My city newspaper does a cookie contest every year and this years winner is a gluten free cookie made from almond paste. Beat out a whole bunch of wheat based ones too. The girl who made them isn't even gluten free but her father and brother are. Definately brightened my dreary day to read about it as it is nice to see non-gluten free folks realizing that we really can have food that is gluten free and tasty too.

Yippie!! Thanks...and it's even easy! I've never bought almond paste, though. Is there a gluten-free brand? Or are we expected to make an almond paste of some kind? Yes, I'm not much of a cook....

You should be able to find it in the baking aisle. The one we have used came in a cylinder shaped package. Don't remember the name of it though. I think almond paste is just almonds ground up so should be gluten free as long as nothing has been added to it.

That is pretty cool. My mom told me that something similar was in their paper not to long ago. There was local baking contest and a gluten free desert(don't know exactly what it was) won the contest.

Thank you for posting that recipe Ravenwood. I was thinking about gluten-free cookies and could only come up with meringues.

All of my aunts and my grandparents were from Dutch descent. They used to bake with almond paste quite a bit. Thanks for adding to our gluten-free holiday goodies! :)

I made a half of recipe today. They look nice and have a decent taste, but I don't like the texture. Maybe the hub will care for them more.

you can make your own almond paste with ground up almonds and oil. I use coconut oil, mix it with ground almonds, and eat it on buckwheat crackers or rice cakes

Interesting - this is a common recipe that is eerily similar to amaretti cookies. I've seen it many times before so I am afraid it is not a novel idea. Some people really love amaretti. I like to use them in tiramisu as they make good ladyfingers.

Having said that, it is great to see a gluten-free cookie winning!

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress ...

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time.

I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
