I need help. I have the recipe for the wheat free cookies made with only potato starch.. well the cookies spread so far all over the pan, I have one giant cookie. I remember there being a few recipes on here for the cookies.. the toll house ones.. however, I cannot search for it. Everytime I try to search for a subject, nothing that I am looking for comes up. I have no idea if I am doing it right or not.

Anyway.. I am looking for any recipe. Please! I need chocolate chip cookies!

But for eating raw cookie dough.. the recipe I have is fantastic!!!

I use the Toll House recipe off the chocolate chip bag but use rice flour instead of regular flour and vegan butter. They come out good usually and I know other people substitute more things but I only do the rice flour and vegan butter.

I substitute rice flour (or Orgran's all purpose gluten-free flour) for regular flour in the Tollhouse recipe, it's very easy. But then I also am in love with the Pamela's chocolate chip mix!

I haven't had to add Xanthan gum with cookies. But I also eat them as soon as they come out of the oven.

I also use the Tollhouse recipe. i like to use the Betty Hagman rice flour blend and 1 tsp of xanthan gum per cup of flour (usually about 2 tsp works well) I also throw the cookie dough in the fridge for an hr before baking. This helps keep the cookies thick and chewy. :)

Hi Stephanie,

I actually make these cookies all the time--I like that they use potato starch, as I'm sensitive to grains and have to severly limit them (and I don't like to limit cookies :D )

Are you using butter? That will make them spread I think because the potato starch dosen't "hold" it very well. I use Spectrum Organic Shortening, and they come out great. If you can use it, Crisco also works.

I have also tweaked the recipe so it has less sugar. The cookies come out a little lighter, but very good. I'll post that recipe if you'd like it :)

What an excellent tip Richard :) I will have to keep this in mind next time I bake cookies, the last time they flattened way out and were really crisp, I bet the chilling will help.

I have a terrible sweet tooth, and bake cookies at least once a week :ph34r: I've been known to use extra brown sugar, almonds, walnuts, PB chips, white choc. chips, PB , and Nutella in different variations of the Tollhouse recipe. Someday I'll throw all of the above in and see what happens! Chilling & X-gum makes a huge difference IMO, the cookies come out chewy-tender and stay that way :rolleyes::)

Thanks for all the suggestions.. I am ready to try some today.. and yes jersey;.. I would love it if you posted your receipe. Using the potato starch made the dough taste exactly like the old stuff used to taste. I almost started to cry when I tasted the raw dough. It was just like old times!

I'd just like to add for those of us who are 'mix' bakers, the Gluten Free Naturals line out of NJ makes the best gluten-free cookie mix I've had. I use it for choc. chip since DH is allergic to the dark choc. in the awesome Pamela's mix. The GFN mix tastes like roll and bake cookies if you like those. The mix does not have choc. in it so you can use the mix to substitute in other cookie recipes and it tells how to do that on the package. This line also offers a wonderful pancake and pizza mix. All their mixes contain soy flour which must have similar properties to wheat.

Sure!

Grain Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

Heat oven to 375.

In medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup Spectrum Shortening (or other shortening), 1/2 cup light brown sugar, 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract, and 1 egg until creamy. Add 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. baking soda, 1+1/4 cup potato starch and 1 cup chocolate chips, and mix until combined and there are no lumps.

Drop from teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes or until very lightly browned. Cool on a rack, and store tightly covered when completely cool.

These are lighter than traditional choc. chip cookies, but are really good!

So how did the chocolate chips cookies turn out? I wish I had read your post about the spreading cookies sooner! Yesterday I made cookies from what must have been that very same recipe....YUMMY cookie dough, but the final product was more like one huge chocolate chip crepe :huh:

(I had chilled the dough just because it worked for my schedule to mix them to be baked later, but did use butter as the recipe called for.)

still potato starch, but shortening, not butter. I'll try that next time I need cookies. Sounds delicious. Thanks!

Re: an update on this?

Just curious if anyone could suggest a current gluten free flour that might be bought off the shelf (I'm new to this, so mixing up flours by hand is a bit daunting) and substituted in the tollhouse recipe? Also - shortening instead of butter? Must have Xantham Gum?

I am making these for a Christmas party on Monday, and I need them to turn out correctly! :)

pamelas baking mix can be used for regular recipes... but decrease butter/shortening by 1/3 (if calls for 1 cup use 2/3 of a cup) and either should work... another tip to prevent spreading is refridgerating the dough

These are amazing according to DH...I ran across the link in another thread on this site, but don't ask me to remember which one. I was surprised to run across it since I had no idea that Alton Brown (or anyone else on FN) did this kind of recipe.

In 2006 there was no Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix. Now there is. I highly recommend it.

best regards, lm

      Testing

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Once you have removed the inflammatories, it is time to focus on the deficiencies.  A lot of them not specific to Celiac, but deficiency in them elicits symptoms associated with Celiac. According to research, celiac disease tends to be more prevalent in urban areas compared to rural areas.  Same is true with airborne viruses.  Because urban residents get less sunlight.  To top it off we use lotion and gear to block the little light there is.  This compremises the vitamin D blood level.  A virus attack further lowers vitamin D and the immune system loses control over the Celiac genes and they go into acute symptoms. 40% to 75% depending depending on country are vitamin D deficient. 50% do not eat the Adequit Intake for potassium (4700 mg a day) 90% do n ot eat the Adequit Intake for Choline. Iodine intake since 1970 had dropped 50%.  The western diet is typically excessive in omega 6 fatty acid compared to omega 3.  Above 14:1 by some estimates.  So they sell us expensive, processed oils to compensate.  Anyway after 10 years gluten free myself,  here is what has helped me in just the past few years; once I realized I was at a healing plateau and just GFD would not cut it, and reallized my deficiencies.  Most recently, I started a statin which I only took for two weeks before it started to cripple me.   Got a prescription for Nicotinic Acid to 2000 and am more flexible now Plus HDL went 29 to 44, eGFR from 55 to 79. I also learned if the pharmacist gets a prescription for Niacin that it is dealer's choice whether you get Nicotinic Acid or Niacinimide.  And it comes out of a regular vitamin manufacturer.   "likely deficiencies and what I take to boost my intake (I get anorexic at the drop of a hat so I take them to keep me stable):  the ones that helped me the most noticibly Was increasing vitamin D blood level to 80 ng/ml and Iodine to 500 mcg once or twice a day, Thiamine, Choline, and Iodine. 10,000 IU vitamin D 500 mg Thiamine or more Choline Iodine – 600 to 1200 mcg of Liquid Iodine Vitamin B2 helps break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. It plays a vital role in maintaining the body's energy supply.  500 mg Nicotinic Acid - increase capillary blood flow, lower cholesterol. I recently started 2000 mg a day instead of a statin which I cannot tolerate. I the first month my HDL went from 29 to 44. eGFR (kidney function) jumped from 55 ti 75. It also has make my whole body less stiff. The ichy, flushing with the first few doses goes away. The non flush forms of vitamin B3 do not work. It is the relaxing of the capillaries and tendons. 500 mg Pantothenic Acid vitamin B5 Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids in Vegetables  Eating more of the vegetables low in omega six and high omega 3 can reduce inflammation Whole Milk Vanilla yogurt to which I add 100 grams of raspberrys, black berries and blueberries has lots of probiotics and makes my tummy and body happy. Red Bull has sugar (not high fructose corn syrup) and the vitamins (B2,3,5,6 need to metabolize to ATP energy and Taurine as an antioxident). It is a good source of energy for me because my genetic hyperlipidemia does not process complex carbs well.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By trents · Posted

      Gluten-like cross reactions to other foods are from the proteins that make them up. Dextrose is the sugar component found in corn.

      By Ryangf · Posted

      I just found out a few days ago that some salt like table salt contains dextrose that’s derived from corn. I’ve been thinking about getting rid of using table salt and just using my own kosher or Himalayan salt, but tbh I’m reluctant to do it. I’ve cut out a lot of things and I don’t really want to cut out anything else that I’m not sure will effect me…in a super small amount that it might be added to salts to stabilize the iodine. I don’t want to be further alienated when I have to go to a restaurant with my friends. Also most of the items at my house that have salt in it canned food etc. are some of the few quick things I can eat- because I’m not the one paying for the food in my household and i can only ask for so much. I’m not in a place financially where I can get a lot of my specialized items- although my family tries their best to get items I Can actually stand. I get I can bring a my own salt with me at a restaurant and ask for no seasoning but it feels like a lot to me- cause I already check for cross contamination and ask if the food has like a high volume of corn in it like cornstarch etc. I’ve also heard most dextrose is not derived from the Zein (corn gluten) portion of it- so it might be safe- but idk if that’s true. I just wanna know if anyone actually responded to it negatively.

      I’m so confused…

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For my first couple of years after discovering my celiac disease I also had to avoid cow's milk/casein and eggs, as well as other things, but could tolerate duck eggs and sheep and goat's milk products. I'm not sure if you've tried those, but it could be worth testing them out.

      Hello, @Kwinkle, How are you doing?   Have you tried adding a Magnesium supplement?   The B Complex vitamins need magnesium to work properly, especially thiamine vitamin B 1.   Magnesium deficiency symptoms and Thiamine deficiency symptoms both include gas and bloating.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms also include loss of appetite and fatigue.   My gas and bloating resolved rather quickly when I took Benfotiamine (a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing) and Magnesium Glycinate in addition to my B 50 Complex (all twice a day plus the following...).   I found Magnesium L-Threonate or Magnesium Taurate are better when taken with a form of thiamine called TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl dusulfide) because all of these cross the blood brain barrier easily, which corrects the loss of appetite, fatigue and anxiety.    Like @Celiacandme said, keeping a food/mood/poo'd journal is a big help in finding problematic foods, and for making sure your diet is not carbohydrate heavy.  If you're eating a lot if processed gluten free facsimile foods, be aware they do not have vitamins and minerals added to them like their gluten containing counterparts.  For every 1000 kcal of carbohydrates, we need an extra 500 mg of thiamine to turn them into energy and not store them as fat.   Let us know how you're doing!
