    I think the recipe is good in general but I did two batches and the 2nd batch I changed a few things. I added another 1/2 cup of almond flour plus another 1/2 cup of chopped almonds to give me more crunch. I halved the sugar as 1st batch was too sweet for me. Instead of dried apricot, I used choc chips and mashed banana. The 2nd batch was a lot better. It's soft inside but crunchy outside. My husband couldn't stop eating them.

    I can eat gluten and I would make them again even if my daughter did not like them. Both kids love them.

    I only used 2/3 cup sugar and substituted dried apples because that is what was in my pantry.

     

    Just do not let them cool to much on the sheet or they will stick.

    Excellent cookies! they are chewy and so good, we don't like things too sweet so I reduced the sweetener to 1/3 cup Xylitol and 1/4 cup coconut palm sugar, and added 1/4 tsp salt. So, so good!

    Scott Adams was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1994, and, due to the nearly total lack of information available at that time, was forced to become an expert on the disease in order to recover. In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives.  He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014. Celiac.com does not sell any products, and is 100% advertiser supported.

    Preheat oven to 350.
    In a bowl mix:
    2 ¼ cups tapioca flour
    1 tsp. salt
    1/3 cup sugar
    ½ tsp. xanthan gum (omit for pie crust)
    In a blender or food processor mix:
    1 cup Filberts/Macadamias
    ¼ cup water
    ½ cup canola oil
    1 tsp. vanilla
    Grind the nuts very fine. Add contents of food processor to bowl and mix. Roll into balls and flatten. Bake on greased cookie sheet at 350 for 10 - 15 minutes, or until they begin to turn golden-brown. The recipe makes 2 ½ dozen cookies.
    This dough rolls out on a potato-starch-floured board quite successfully to make cookie-cutter cookies. It also makes an excellent pie crust - flaky and delicious. Cover the edges with foil and pre-bake for 15 minutes before filling.

      Severe Itching And No Rash

      Are you scratching hard enough to leave bruising -- the dark marks? But no rash? And worse with exercise? And no flaking? I had vitamin deficiencies that caused neuropathy - itching, buzzing, tingling sensations, that I would scratch until I left bruising. Many of the B vitamins, if deficient, can cause this itchy feeling without a visible...
