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 getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
