Favorite Flour Mixes For Cookies?

I have done a lot of gluten-free baking, but have mostly stuck to muffins and cakes. I am wondering if the general mixes I use for muffins and cakes will also work for cookies.

What flour mixes would be best for making chewy cookies? Crunchy butter or sugar cookies? (Recipes for basic butter or sugar cookies would also be welcome)

I am afraid the cake mixes I use (which have xanthan gum already added) will make the cookies come out too fluffy. Any ideas?

I use Authentic Foods Multi Flour mix for my cookies and have great results. Making a cookie chewy, crispy or cake-like is controlled by factors like the amount of flour or butter you use. Read this--talks about variations on chocolate chip cookies--how you make them cakelike, chewy or crispy etc: Open Original Shared Link

      But there will still probably be times when you will get together with your brother and father in their home when food will be involved. You need to think through how you will handle that. In the meantime, separate your stuff from their stuff and keep it under lock and key if necessary.

      Thank you, I'll talk to my doctor and dietitian for some resources they could read. I only have a few months until I can move in with my mother who is a lot more cautious about it.

      Okay, so two issue here: 1. Your brother is creating CC (Cross Contamination) problems by using your gluten free food items and mixing into them gluten containing food. I would suggest you consider keeping your gluten free food items in your bedroom instead of the kitchen. Consider getting a small fridge that will fit in your bedroom for things that need refrigeration. 2. Your dad is not giving proper attention to avoiding gluten containing ingredients when he prepares meals for the family. Do you think he has a good understanding of what gluten is and where it is found in mainline food products? Is he doing this out of carelessness or ignorance? Most people do not have a good understanding of where gluten is found in the food supply. Even those with celiac disease find there is a considerable learning curve involved to this. I mean, who would ever suspect that wheat is an ingredient in soy sauce and in most canned tomato soups, even some chocolate syrups and pancake syrups? Is your dad open to being educated about sources of gluten? Do you think your family members understand that celiac disease is not an allergy but is an autoimmune disorder that can permanently damage your body over time if gluten is not avoided? I think you may need to struggle with this until you are in a position to move out of your family home into your own dwelling where you have complete control over what you eat. I also want you to know that you are not alone in this problem. On this forum, we have had a number of threads started by young people in your same situation.
