Anyone know of a good EASY sugar cookie recipe? Anything out of a box or bag would be better. We need some icing ideas too!

My 6 year-old will be making gluten-free cookies for santa this year...

You can do canned frosting.  Its gluten-free.  I think at least one major brand actually labels it gluten-free.  I know there are some box mixes you could use.

Do you need to be dairy free?  I think most canned frosting has dairy.

this is good for dairy free- 

4 cups powdered sugar

1 cup shortening (I use spectrum palm oil but Crisco should work)

1 teaspoon vanilla

5-7 teaspoons water

Mix well in a mixer.  You can add color or flavors like mint or lemon without changing the color.  If you use real vanilla and the palm shortening - it won't be a bright white...more of a cream color.

Umm I have Multiple options, I have a recipe on my blog for making a grain free version from scratch (click my profile then check my recipe blog) I will also give links to various ones and the only icing I use in my bakery. PS for a Sugar Free hard set icing I like to melt coconut butter, swerve sweetener, vanilla, and a bit of almond milk mix it up and use it. Check Amazon for pricing and where to order these.

This will be fun. My son will enjoy doing the different colors and it looks easy.

gluten-free dough can be hard to roll.  So...if you find you have difficulty, just roll the dough into balls and flatten.  You can frost and decorate.  Use parchment paper or a silicone make.  gluten-free dough tends to stick!

      Anyone gone through public school gluten free?

      No I was 19 when I was diagnosed. And before then I brought my own lunch (usually a sandwich) which I would throw up an hour later. I wish we figured it out sooner. My folks thought I had an eating disorder and was purposely making myself sick. With the way things are going wouldn’t be surprised if people think a kid with celiac disease is just attention s...

      Just diagnosed with Celiac! Scared and feel alone.

      If your celiac antibody tests are still positive that may explain the ongoing symptoms. You might examine your diet and try to get those tests in the normal range before doing something like an MRI or CT scan. It took me almost six years to get all of my antibody tests in the normal range. At first I thought I was eating gluten free by avoiding wheat...

      Inhaler problem

      @Ann13, thanks for the clarification. I think I understand your point now. Yes, I realize gluten can produce non Gi Reactions. Let us know if you find out that there is gluten in these inhalers. I have my doubts but gluten does show up in strange places. It could also be manufacturer dependent of these inhaler products are generic.

      Not everyone will be allergic to whatever they're using in food. There is another forum re people who are posting they have vocal cord & throat issues after they eat breads & pastas which stopped after they removed those foods from their diets. Same as me...gluten doesn't react as gastrointestinal it reacts orally. Which is why I'm saying ensure all...

      I certainly agree with all that. However, you also mentioned cornflakes with barley malt but that would obviously not be gluten free since barley is a gluten-containing grain. And the chemicals they spray on grains would affect everyone, not just those with gluten disorders. I'm just trying to figure out what this thread has to do with the main subject this...

My folks thought I had an eating disorder and was purposely making myself sick.  With the way things are going wouldn’t be surprised if people think a kid with celiac disease is just attention seeking. Had a nurse try to get me to eat sourdough bread one time to cure my celiac disease but I’m going a bit off topic. If I had a child that inherited my celiac disease I would make all their lunches I worked in restaurants and cafeterias before they aren’t safe too much cross contamination

Same as me...gluten doesn't react as gastrointestinal it reacts orally. Which is why I'm saying ensure all your food isn't what you're having a reaction to.  ...& I used Cornflakes as an example because some gluten free people would assume it's gluten free but if they're allergic to barley they will have a reaction...nothing to do with their inhaler.  You're missing my points a lot & frustrating so I'm done commenting. You really need to ensure your food isn't what's causing the issue. I am checking with symbicort manufacturer to check their ingredients.  Good bye... I'm done with this.

And the chemicals they spray on grains would affect everyone, not just those with gluten disorders. I'm just trying to figure out what this thread has to do with the main subject this online community is focused on. Is the point of this thread that having a gluten disorder makes someone more susceptible to reacting adversely to inhalers? That could be but it may have nothing to do with the inhaler having gluten. It could have to do with, say, having higher systemic yeast counts because the celiac community generally suffers from gut dysbiosis. So it would be easier for celiacs using inhalers to develop thrush.
