Spritz Cookies

I found a fabulous recipe for spritz cookies in Bette Hagman's book, but I can't get them to stick to the cookie sheet from the cookie press. I ended up rolling them like sugar cookies, which worked (They were really easy to roll, not too sticky) They are PHENOMENAL, but I want to press them for the designs. Any suggestions? :blink:

Is the dough chilled?

Are you using a Silpat or a nonstick cookie sheet? If so, that could be the problem. I have not tried making gluten-free ones. But many years ago I made countless batches of regular Spritz. The best cookie sheet I had for the job was an expensive double walled one. I think it was called Airbake. It was not non-stick.

Another thought would be instead of pressing them to stamp a design into the top. My mom got a cookie stamp somewhere when we were on vacation. It was made of clay and came in various designs. It worked for Spritz cookies. You would merely form a ball, then press it down on the top. It left a raised design.

I have used a lot of bad words trying to get Spritz cookies to come out of the press and stick to the pan, regular or gluten-free, over many years. Rarely does it work exactly as it should. Now I just use the shapes that make a single long "snake" or bar and cut those into pieces. I was so lazy I just rolled out the last batch between sheets of plastic wrap, cut it into squares, and baked them.

I had same recipe same problem! I am glad you posted this!! I too am eager to find a good recipe. My dough was chilled. The only thng I miss about regular flour is its ease of use!

My dough was chilled and I tried 3 different types of baking sheets that I had, thinking the non-stick was the issues too. The dough was "greasy", but I couldn't figure out a way to change that. The dough was SOOO good, though! (well, not raw, but once cooked! I am not a fan of bean flour, so I was hesitant. But it was SOO worth it! :blink: ) I love the stamp idea!

I got that book for Christmas and used the same recipe and I loved it. I used the double walled Airbake that I got years ago and did not have a problem. I also like the pecan sandies recipe in the same book.

      @sillyyak52, If it makes you feel any better, I have a sibling who thinks the dinner table (at fine dining restaurants, and less formal pub grub settings etc.) is a personal buffet table and dips into the food of whoever is sitting beside or opposite to them just to get a taste (no plate is safe!) ... never asks for permission ... and has no consideration of gluten cross contamination even though I've explained it diplomatically with articles, pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis (which I've had for years) like @knitty kitty and I both suggest you do. I avoid that sibling at restaurants now and sit at the opposite end of the table out of arms reach! I've had similar treatment at a recent siblings 60th BBQ with family and friends (brought my own food and burger), where I was told (in a very rude manner) "tough luck, there's nowhere safe ... just cook your burger on the BBQ" which was cross contaminated ... I stood my ground and asked for a clean frying pan to cook my burger safely and separately.

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      knitty kitty makes a good point. Avocados are high in histamines. So are bananas. Both also trigger histamine production in the body when consumed so there's a double whammy with those two foods for those struggling with histamine intolerance/MCAS

      3 years with Celiac, now I appear fine.

      @Sharke, The updated guidelines for a gluten challenge are to eat ten grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum.  Lesser amounts of gluten (3 grams) don't provoke an immune response strong enough that the antibodies leave the gastrointestinal tract and get into the blood where they can be measured in tTg blood tests.   Have no doubt that the antibodies made in the small intestine are doing damage there, even if you don't suffer severe symptoms, yet. Did you react to barley prior to going gluten free? Have you been checked for chronic autoimmune gastritis which is another autoimmune disease that sometimes occurs with Celiac Disease? Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Thiamine deficiency (Gastrointestinal Beriberi) can cause constipation and/or diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss.   Thiamine Deficiency Disorders https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/

      @sillyyak52, Count another one in the same boat!  My family has always been in denial.  They said my tummy aches were a ploy to miss school.  My parents passed from health problems associated with uncontrolled Celiac Disease (Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Glioblastoma brain tumor).  My sister still has her head buried in the sand.   I agree with @Rogol72, try the consequences of untreated celiac disease shock treatment.  Sometimes people are just scared of having to change their comfortable lifestyle.
