HELP! i made chocolate chip cookies on Tuesday using your recipe and they were awesome right out of the oven. but within a few hours, they got pretty hard and by the next day i nearly cracked a tooth! does this happen when you make them? any suggestions on how to keep them a little softer? my mom used to make homemade cookies when i was a kid (pre-celiac) and she used to throw a slice of bread in the tin to keep the cookies fresh...obviously not an option now! she did suggest that the other day and i made her stop and think about what she was saying. ;)

I'm sorry they didn't turn out for you! I've never had this happen to me. I made them on Tuesday night, put in a ziplock bag and brought them out to eat yesterday, they were still nice and chewy. Even if I leave them on a plate covered with a papertowel they stay chewy.

Did you use the Pamela's or another flour blend?

What did you use for the fat? (butter, margarine, etc)-I use butter

How long did you cook them for? I usually undercook a little, let cool ~3min on pan before transferring to cooling rack

i put half the cookies in a ziplock bag and the other half on a plate covered with plastic wrap. both were equally hard. i used regular butter and Pamela's and cooked them for 10 minutes. must have been the cooking time that did me in.

oh darn, i guess i'll have to make another batch! ;) thanks Rachelle!

If you can't get that recipe to work you can try this one:

It's my fav. I use the sorghum flour blend or the rice one.

My flour mix--

3 cups rice flour

1 cup potato starch

1/2 cup cornstarch (you could sub tapioca starch)

1 tsp. xanthan gum

Mix very well and store in covered container.

I have a convection oven and I usually check at about 7 minutes. Just when the edges are starting to brown, the insides will still look gooey, but after letting them sit on the (parchmented) pan for 3 min or so, they are ready to move. The outsides of the cookies get a little crunchy and the insides soft and chewy. Let me know what happens if you bake another batch!!

Celiac-mommy, when using the convection oven do you put the temp on the same as a regular oven? I just got a new oven that has a convection feature but I haven't tried it yet.

I've made chocolate chip cookies with Pamela's and didn't have any trouble with them getting hard. In fact, one batch I overcooked a bit, and I was disappointed because they seemed too done. I put them into a rubbermaid storage container and the next day they were nice and soft.

I think the real trick is to eat them all before they get a chance to harden. LOL.

I do the same temp that a recipe calls for, I just check maybe 10 minutes before to see if it's done. Any cookies, I usually cook on 350, unless it specifically says a very low temp or high temp-but regular cookies-350.

Could be!! 375 for 10 min might be way too long. Try the 350 for 7 minutes, then check to see if they need a little more time. The leftover ones I made on Tuesday were still in the bag last night (not any more :huh: ), and a little hard, so I tossed them in the microwave for 12 seconds--they turned back into the warm gooey cookies I took out of the oven--that's why there aren't anymore :P

well, i tried the cookies again today and they came out great. 350 degrees for 8 minutes and they were perfect. a little flatter than before but they taste awesome so that's all that really matters! (oh and i only had less than a cup of regular chocolate chips so i subbed a cup of white chocolate chips...a nice variation!)

The Chewy Gluten Free

Ingredients

* 8 ounces unsalted butter

* 11 ounces brown rice flour, approximately 2 cups

* 1 1/4 ounces cornstarch, approximately 1/4 cup

* 1/2-ounce tapioca flour, approximately 2 tablespoons

* 1 teaspoon xanthan gum

* 1 teaspoon kosher salt

* 1 teaspoon baking soda

* 2 ounces sugar, approximately 1/4 cup

* 10 ounces light brown sugar, approximately 1 1/4 cups

* 1 whole egg

* 1 egg yolk

* 2 tablespoons whole milk

* 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

* 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Melt the butter in a heavy-bottom medium saucepan over low heat. Once melted, pour into the bowl of a stand mixer.

In a medium bowl, sift together the rice flour, cornstarch, tapioca flour, xantham gum, salt and baking soda. Set aside.

Add both of the sugars to the bowl with the butter and using the paddle attachment, cream together on medium speed for 1 minute. Add the whole egg, egg yolk, milk and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Slowly incorporate the flour mixture until thoroughly combined. Add the chocolate chips and stir to combine.

Chill the dough in the refrigerator until firm, approximately 1 hour. Shape the dough into 2-ounce balls and place on parchment-lined baking sheets, 6 cookies per sheet. Bake for 14 minutes, rotating the pans after 7 minutes for even baking. Remove from the oven and cool the cookies on the pans for 2 minutes. Move the cookies to a wire rack and cool completely. Store cooked cookies in an airtight container.

ASOME!!!

      Testing

      By trents · Posted

      Did your symptoms improve after going on a gluten-free diet?
    • Scott Adams
      Testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you for sharing your genetic test results and background. Your results indicate you carry one half of the DQ2 heterodimer (DQA1*05), which is associated with a very low celiac disease risk (0.05%). While most celiac patients have either DQ2 or DQ8, these genes are also present in people without celiac disease, so the test alone doesn’t confirm a diagnosis. Since you’ve been gluten-free for 10 years, traditional diagnostic methods (like endoscopy or blood tests) would not be reliable now. If an official diagnosis is important to you, consider discussing a gluten challenge with your doctor, where you reintroduce gluten for a period before testing. Alternatively, you could focus on symptom management and dietary adherence, as your gluten-free diet seems to be helping. Consulting a gastroenterologist or celiac specialist could provide further clarity.  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      @cvz Thank you for sharing your daughter’s story. It sounds like she is managing multiple complex conditions with great care and diligence. It’s encouraging to hear that she is compliant with her gluten-free diet and that her Addison’s disease symptoms are under control. The addition of electrolytes seems like a thoughtful suggestion, especially given her fluid intake. It’s also reassuring that she hasn’t shown noticeable symptoms from accidental gluten exposure, though it’s understandable how challenging it can be to monitor for such incidents. The unexplained high lipase levels are intriguing—perhaps further investigation or consultation with a specialist could provide more clarity. Wishing you both continued strength and success in managing her health. Please keep us updated on her progress!

      Testing

      By Kj44 · Posted

      Hello I received this in a genetic lab test I requested from my provider.    The patient is positive for DQA1*05, one half of the DQ2 heterodimer. The celiac disease risk from the HLA DQA/DQB genotype is approximately 1:1842 (0.05%). This is less than the 1% risk in the general population. Allele interpretation for all loci based on IMGT/HLA database version 3.55 HLA Lab CLIA ID Number 34D0954530 Greater than 95% of celiac patients are positive for either DQ2 or DQ8 (Sollid and Thorsby, (1993) Gastroenterology 105:910-922). However these antigens may also be present in patients who do not have Celiac disease.   Some background, I have been eating gluten free for about 10 years now. I have never had an official celiac diagnosis due to endoscopy and labs tested after I had already been eating gluten free for over 1 year. I was constantly sick and told you slowly remove foods and see what effects my symptoms. I have also come to realize that I have other symptoms of celiacs and recently requested the genetic testing shown above.    I am looking to see if anyone has other recommendations for testing or just to clarify the results for me as I feel the official diagnosis could be helpful but I am not positive that it is even true for me.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By cvz · Posted

      My daughter, age 48, has Down syndrome, hypothyroidism, Addison's disease, and Celiac disease, which was diagnosed based on blood tests last July.  After a small intestine biopsy last fall, we were told that she has severe celiac disease.  She is taking both levothyroxine and leothyronine for her hypothyroidism and both hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone for Addison's disease.  She also takes Folic acid, magnesium, vitamin B-12, DHEA (DAGA), and a multivitamin.  In July, she started on a gluten-free diet and is very compliant.  She has had constipation and diarrhea issues all her life and now controls the constipation with Miralax, prunes, and apricots.  Shel has only very occasional syncopes or vasovagal events and muscle aches in her upper back and neck.  She drinks 4-6 or more 12 oz bottles or of liquid per day.  Her doctor has just suggested adding electrolytes to one of those bottles daily.   We are sorry to learn about the issues you are having and would like to stay in touch.  We do not know anyone else with both Addison's disease and celiac disease.  So far, she has no recognizable symptoms.  We are doing our best to keep her gluten-free, but have no way of knowing if she has had an exposure to it unless we catch it ourselves.  For example, a few weeks ago, a restaurant mistakenly breaded her fish, and I did not notice it until she had eaten most of it.  She had no identifiable symptoms of the exposure then or days later. By the way, the reason she was screened for Celiac disease was that her blood lipase levels were unexplainably high.  They still are.  We have no idea why.
