Need Great Holiday Cookie Recipe - I Want To Blow Them Away!

Hi, Everyone:

Next week, I will meet with my GIG (Gluten-Intolerance Group), and we will have a holiday cookie exchange. This group has been incredibly helpful to me -- they are the best, and I want to thank them by bringing a WONDERFUL batch of holiday cookies, along with the recipe.

Right now, I have Better Batter and Pamela's Pancake and Baking Mix in the house, although if I have to go out and buy different stuff, that's okay. I just want to bake something super-fantastic for the most wonderful group of people in the world.

Any help appreciated. Thank you, thank you, thank you . . . and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Food . . . don't you love it? Whoever invented it sure knew what they were doing! LOL! :)

Hi

Is there any cookie recipe that you are looking for? Like peanut butter kissy cookies, or I guess I mean any certain flavor? My husband, Jeff has celiac and I have been cooking/baking for him since he was diagnosed over 3 years ago. If you could tell me what kind you are looking for I might be able to help.

Thanks

Good ol' Tollhouse, and I used Tom Sawyers blend, but I think anything that you have on hand might work. I made it according to the recipe, and just changed out the flour and used crisco bars instead of butter (I'm dairy intolerant). They are AWESOME. I'm told if you cut the rice/tapioca flour with sweet sorghum flour it cuts back on the gritty finish, but honestly - I like them just the way they are. Everyone that has tried them thought they tasted like normal cookies, and I make awesome chocolate chip cookies...and these are every bit as good.

I'm not really sure -- I'm more interested in recipes that get a lot of "wows!" regardless of the flavor.

These are classic--easy to work with dough that you can cut and decorate. I like to do stars, frost with vanilla frosting, and sprinkle with sugar in the raw. Sparkly and festive! :D

SUGAR COOKIES

1 cup shortening

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

3 cups rice flour blend (I simply use 2 cups of rice flour and one cup of potato starch--I'm intolerant to tapioca)

1 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup milk if needed

Cream shortening and sugar, add eggs and vanilla. When combined, add dry ingredients. Wrap dough (I also flatten it a little) and chill for about an hour. Roll out and cut as desired.

Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. Cool, frost and decorate.

I would LOVE the recipe -- please post it! I think someone is already bringing pumpkin roll to the party, but I WANT THE RECIPE so very much for using over the holidays for my family -- thank you!

Pumpkin roll always seemed to hard to me. I would really love to try to see if I can do it.

This sounds so good! My oldest daughter is coming home for the holidays, and she requested decorated cookies. This would be perfect for her as well -- much appreciated. I have it added to my grocery list and am excited to try it!

I can eat butter. Can I substitute butter for shortening without a problem?

Yes. Be aware though that when baking cookies with butter they tend to spread more than with shortening or margarine. Test bake one and see. If needed add more flour.

I use my own Flour mix which is very close to Better Batter. I have a number of great recipes Open Original Shared Link Under both Gluten free and Cookies. You can use gluten-free flour I just would use a little less in any of the cookie recipes ie: If it calls for 2 cups regular flour I would personally use 1 3/4 gluten-free Flour, if Chocolate or Chocolate Chip I would use 1 1/4 gluten-free flour and 1/2 cup Teff.

I would again ask what flavor??? or maybe a really fudgy brownie or truffles perhaps....I do an awesome Pistachio Infused Chocolate Ganache White Chocolate Truffle.

I love this recipe. While I want to try everything listed here, this might just be the one for next Monday -- my weekend has turned into hectic times ten, and now I'm needing something fast and easy.

Everyone: Keep posting! My daughters and I are so excited. We're making a list of gotta-try-it recipes out of these posts, and we plan to make each cookie over the holiday. They want to learn more about gluten-free cooking. What fun this will be!

Yep, that's the cookie! Nice to know mine came out looking like they should. Great photo find -- thanks.

For those who make this recipe, know that the cookies don't really feel "done" when they're done. My first batch I cooked a much longer than I should -- like 20 minutes instead of 10, because I didn't think they were done (they were still very good, just more crunchy than fudgy). The next ones I baked for about 12 minutes, ignored how soft they were and let them cool almost completely before transferring to a cooling rack -- perfect!

      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.

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

      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.

      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!
