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

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By ABP2025 · Posted

      Got it. Thanks Scott. I'll set up an appointment with a GI after the holidays and get all the celiac disease screening done. Thanks to this amazing forum and to all who have answered my question, I now know what my next steps are.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By ABP2025 · Posted

      Aah it sucks that there's no definitive way to confirm NCGS or celiac. I've found a GI clinic that is covered by my insurance and I'll contact them after the holidays to setup an appointment. I hope to get some sort of clarity with further tests.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By ABP2025 · Posted

      Thanks @knitty kitty. I didn't know about thiamine deficiency before you had mentioned it. I'm doing more research into what it is and how I can test for that deficiency. Is Vitamin B1 test the best way to find it? I saw that there is another test: Erythrocyte transketolase activity coefficient (ETKAC) assay to test for thiamine deficiency but I'm not sure how that test is done. Is that something I can take on my own or do I need GI referral. If it does turn out that I'm thiamine deficient, does that confirm that I have celiac disease or could it just mean that I have not been consuming Vitamin B1 rich food and once I address that with a supplement or food, I would no longer be thiamine deficient? Also full disclosure, I'm a vegetarian and only last year I found out that my Vitamin D level was very low. It was 3.7 ng/ml and the ideal range is >29.9 ng/ml. After a year of taking multivitamin supplement, my Vitamin D level has gone up to 27 ng/ml. Though it's better than 3.7 ng/ml, it's still below the range. I'm not sure for how long my Vitamin D level was around 3.7 ng/ml before 2023 as I didn't have my Vitamin D test taken prior to that. My doctor also wanted to check my Vitamin B12 level as I might not be getting enough of it from vegetarian sources. When I took that test last year, Vitamin B12 was 247 pg/ml and ideal range is 200-1100 pg/ml. So it's still within the range though it's on the lower end of the ideal range. I also have recently started taking vitamin b-complex tablets daily. I've never checked other Vitamin B levels including Vitamin B1. Do you know if such a very low level of Vitamin D and moderately lower level of Vitamin B12 would cause celiac disease or may contribute to some of the symptoms I've been experiencing? Regarding the DNA test to test celiac genes, are you referring to HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8 tests? As soon as I got the result where my IgG was above range, I had ordered the "HLA Typing for Celiac Disease" test in Quest Diagnostics which measures HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8. The test is 2 weeks from now and I'll post my results here once I receive them.

      Small amounts of gliadin are detectable in some samples of human breast milk but these are at too low a level to cause symptoms. No gliadin has been detected in the beef of grain-fed cattle.   https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5622696/

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Kiwifruit, I agree further testing is needed.  Disaccharidase deficiency is a symptom of Celiac disease.   On your test results, this line  "IgA: 0.9 g/l (norm 0.8 - 4.0)" is referring to Total IgA and it's very low.  People with low or deficient Total IgA should also have DGP IgG test done.  Low Total IgA means you are making low levels of tTg  IgA as well, leading to false negatives or "weak positives".  Maybe a DNA test for known Celiac genes.   Anemia, diabetes, and thiamine deficiency can cause test results like these.  Get checked for B12 deficiency anemia and have your iron (ferritin) checked.  Vitamin D deficiency is common, too.   Might be time to find a gastrointestinal doctor who is more familiar with diagnosing Celiac Disease.   Best wishes on your journey!  Please keep us posted on your progress.
