Betty Crocker Cookie Mix


Lexi

Recommended Posts

Lexi Enthusiast

As a kind gesture, someone gave me a box of the new Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix. However, I cannot have soy or egg (which the recipe calls for). What could I use to substitue for the egg (possibly applesauce)? Also, the chocolate chips have soy in them. If I pick all the chips out - would I still get the effects from the soy?? It seems like a lot of dang work, but would be worth it to have a warm cookie out of the oven.

You can use egg substitute like Ener-G. Works fine with it. But picking out the chocolate chips won't get rid of the soy if you are truly allergic. It will have gotten all over the dry ingredients.

I think it is GREAT that they are making these. But I am not really a chocolate person. Now don't get me wrong I did get some and had them and they were very good. But I wish they would make the mix with out the chocolate chips then you could put in what ever kind of chips you want. Like butterscotch, :rolleyes::) Oh well cant have every thing I guess.

I have to agree. I wish the chips were not mixed in so there was a choice. I love the gluten free pantry muffin/scone mix. It come plain so you can add anything you dream off. The mix is awesome and they are carrying it in my local grocery stores and walmart, for $2-4. Try it if you haven't the possibilities are endless.

About the eggs here are some options, in baking cookies I normally switch them for bananas or baking powder, Open Original Shared Link. Picking out would not be ok with me, I wouldn't chance it, I do know that grocery stores like Publix, let you return items, unopened, all the time if they do not agree with me or contain gluten that I didn't realize, you might be able to switch it for CherryBrook Kitchen's cookie mix that is soy free, egg free, and gluten free as well!

I also cannot use the BC cookie mix because of additonal allergies. I recently made chocolate chip cookies using Namaste cookie mix, added Enjoy Life chips (allergen free) and they came out spectacular. I used canola oil for the shortening. I might add, the first time I used Namaste cookie mix, the cookies were a disaster. I'm glad I gave the product a second chance. They stayed moist day after day. This will be my preferred "in a hurry" mix from now on.

I made them with egg replacer and they turned out great. . . .the brownies did not. I made cupcakes last night with the cake mix and they were yummie.

I've made the brownies many times with egg replacer. They did not come out so well with margarine but they did with coconut oil. Even people who don't need to eat gluten-free liked them.

      We've definitely all had such thoughts.  But as Scott says, it does get easier with time.  I'm not sure where you are posting from but in England where I live, over the last ten years or so most things I missed at first now have gluten free substitutes.   I still miss Twix bars, and chocolate Penguins (a type of biscuit) but I'm hoping sooner or later someone will create a decent substitute for them! One thing that I remember my husband said to me when I was feeling down one day  was: "Why don't you try to think of all the things you can still eat, rather than the things you can't?"  The list is long, and it did help - sort of!

      It looks like they are naturally gluten-free, but not labeled gluten-free. https://www.quakeroats.com/products/hot-cereals/grits/instant-grits-plain

      I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way—your emotions are completely valid. A celiac diagnosis, especially at your age, is a huge adjustment, and it’s okay to grieve the foods and conveniences you’ve lost. Even with a supportive partner (which is wonderful!), the mental toll is real. Many of us have been there, staring longingly at ‘forbidden’ foods while feeling isolated or frustrated. It does get easier with time, though. The initial shock fades, gluten-free substitutes become more familiar, and you’ll find new favorites. But please be gentle with yourself now. If the sadness feels overwhelming, talking to a therapist or joining a celiac support group (online or in-person) might help. You’re not alone in this—we’ve all had those ‘why me?’ moments. Sending hugs (and solidarity) your way.

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      While some radlers are made with gluten-free beer, many traditionally contain wheat-based beer, so it’s definitely good you double-checked. It’s surprising you didn’t have symptoms, but reactions can vary widely among celiacs. Some people are asymptomatic or have delayed reactions, while others feel effects immediately. Even if you didn’t notice symptoms, there could still be internal damage occurring, so it might be worth verifying the brand’s ingredients or contacting the manufacturer for clarity. In the future, sticking to certified gluten-free options or cider-based radlers could be a safer bet. Glad you’re feeling okay, but always better to err on the side of caution!
