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.

      Ibuprofen

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      By Colleen H · Posted

      I think I found a huge culprit for severe reactions to create worsening of my c symptoms. Do people with celiac have sensitivity and /or have opposite reaction to certain medications Where can I find a list ?  I'm new here I'm.wondering why I am getting worse when I take certain medicine...the burning feet.  Rebound muscle pain so intense  How many people get opposite effects or have a horrible attack after these meds

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Does anyone know if that includes scrambled eggs and healthy smart butter (,gluten free) I add a very tiny amount of margarine less than a teaspoon.  I did no't have any bread    It just seems like no matter what I eat my stomach and nerves over fire and here comes a host of horrible symptoms. My lower abdomen feels horrible, my right leg thigh muscle.. very odd. Jaw pain. Burning feet , joint pain , you name it  The anxiety just creeps up into brain fog. I don't think I could explain this to anyone who is unfamiliar.  Also,  I most likely will not remember posting this until I check it.  This is highly unusual for me because I have an excellent memory.  One weekend before I knew anything about celiac I lost an entire weekend from severe brain fog, confusion, pain, etc.  I honestly thought I was losing my mind. When I think back I recall eating a lot of PBJ sandwiches and turkey sandwiches.  Once again did not know about gluten.  I was just too sick to cook. Do people fast during attacks ?? It seems horrible to keep going through this. I hope I'm not causing my own problems... I wonder if I should fast because I'm not eating gluten .  Chicken ,  scrambled eggs no milk , canned carrots,  gluten free low sugar low fat Greek yogurt which I already posted about 😞 Any suggestions I am open... I am bedridden when this happens to me.  Thank you Celiac community. 🙏🏻❤️

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Juliane · Posted

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…
