Christmas Cookie Advice

I'm planning on baking gingerbread cookies next week and have a recipe from "1,000 Gluten Free Recipes" by Carol Fenster. It says to put the dough in the fridge to chill for two hours. My question - because of time issues, if I make the dough wednesday morning would it be okay to bake the cookies thursday morning?

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks!

In my personal experience I find the longer the dough is refrigerated the better the cookies ( roll-out type dough) is for holding together.

good luck

Certainly! I almost always refrigerate cookie dough at least 24 hours for better texture and flavour. Just did it again today, actually. Made cookies yesterday morning and they are now baking.

Great thank for the advice! I would normally refrigerate them overnight but this is my first time baking gluten-free gingerbread men. For normal butter/christmas cookie cut outs should I do the same?

I personally would. Sometimes with gluten-free baking cookies tend to spread a bit. So, when the dough is cold it is less prone to spreading. However, when mixing the dough, all ingredients (including the eggs) should be at room temperature for best results. I sift out all my flours that are in the freezer the night before to bring them up to temp and set me eggs on the counter.

I think my cookies do better (less spread) after refrigerating. Got dough that I made yesterday that I will be baking later tonight. I have also frozen my dough to use much later and it has turned out fine.

With my refrigerated dough, I pound/roll into a log and just slice off 1/4" circles place on a pan and bake . . . like the Pilsbury dough that we all USED to be able to buy.

Just wrap/seal well so that it doesn't pick up weird refrigerator smells.

How about non-cut out ones - in the fridge, too? I think I'm going to make a batch of almond/dried cherry cookies as well :)

Whenever you see instuctions to chill dough feel free to chill it up to a few days, as long as the dough does not get dried out. You may even freeze the dough. Doughs are chilled in order to make it easier to roll or form into a shape, and it makes it so the cookie doesn't spread so much while baking. Don't ever worry about leaving cookie dough in the fridge overnight, or even a whole day.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

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

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
