Post the results when you do. I somehow think cocoa powder would make them gritty, but maybe it dissolves? I've seen several recipes that use it but I've always been reluctant to try them.

No grit from cocoa. The flavor is different than using melted chocolate, as is the texture. Melted chocolate gives it a moister, denser texture, cocoa leaves it feeling cakier.

Most of my family recipes use cocoa, not melted chocolate.

I think those cookies sound wonderful. I've seen the recipe before but haven't tried them.

Since you could make chocolate meringues, I would think these type of cookies would work well.

Hey, Jess...don't you have an abundance of egg whites to use up?

Yes! I was thinking the same thing!

These are AMAZING! I really can not believe that they are gluten free cookies. They taste like brownies. They are soft and chewy and very good. Not gritty at all they are very smooth and velvety tasting.

I used C&H powdered sugar (confectioners sugar) and Hershey's cocoa powder and I skipped the espresso stuff. I also added 1 tablespoon of water so it was easier to mix.

These are a great chocolate treat for those of us that are dairy and soy free.

I still can't believe that there are gluten free. They taste like they have gluteny flour in them. I guess it's the mix of the egg and powdered sugar that makes them this way.

FYI espresso powder is great in recipes like that. It really adds depth and a bit of wow. I made some mocha buttercream frosting this morning and forgot I didn't have espresso powder. Not the same without it. It's that little bit that sends the flavor over the edge. Using regular coffe doesn't cut it, I tried.

We had this recipe for a cross between a meringue & a cookie. I add peanuts. Am thiinking about adding peppermint chips if they are gluten-free.

Thanks for posting this. I have a recipe similar to this, but yours looks a little easier which I am all for. My SIL made them last year with walnuts and they were awesome! I'm going to make them tomorrow.

These look delicious and your review has made me drool. :D and even better that they are DF and SF!

Darn it--I have gained 15 lbs. since DX (ah well, I could afford to put back on a few lbs.) but now, I better be careful of my goodies intake.

um, after New Year's of course.

Thanks for posting this!!!

I used a packet of Starbucks instant and added 2 tablespoons of King Arthur gluten-free flour just for kicks, to see what would happen. They really taste like brownies! What a quick, wonderful cookie for the Holy-daze.

      Blood results

      By Russ H · Posted

      The EMA test is an old and less sensitive test for anti-tTG2 antibodies. It relies on a technician using a microscope to check for fluorescence of a labelled substrate (typically monkey oesophagus or human umbilicus), giving a simple positive/negative result. It is similar to running a standard anti-tTG2 test but with a high cut-off, making it more specific but less sensitive. Transient rises in tTG2 can be caused by e.g. viral infections and inflammation. Very high levels of anti-tTG2 (>x10 standard range) are almost certainly coeliac disease but moderately raised levels can have several causes apart from coeliac disease. Other food allergies can cause villi blunting but that is much rarer than coeliac disease or other non-coeliac causes. Not All That Flattens Villi Is Celiac Disease: A Review of Enteropathies

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.
