ktgrok Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 My friend gave birth a few days ago and is craving cookies. All her other kids are gluten and dairy sensitive so she is avoiding both while nursing this one, just in case. Her husband tried to make her some but they didn't turn out. Anyone got a recipe for him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Gluten Free Goddess is GF/DF. If you run across something with butter (old recipes) just use Earth Balance. You can get vegan chocolate chips, etc, usually at places like Whole Foods. http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/2009/09/gluten-free-cookie-recipes.html?m=1 You're such an awesome friend.

Tammy (TX) Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 This is the simplest recipe, especially if she likes peanut butter! http://allrecipes.com/recipe/best-peanut-butter-cookies-ever/detail.aspx He could also "cheat" and see if these are at the grocery store - I think they're really good and not too expensive where I live. https://www.immaculatebaking.com/product.php?id=30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're really tasty. Had no idea they're dairy free, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laundrycrisis Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 When DS1 was GFCF and egg-free, I made chocolate cookies like this: I used this recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/yogurt-chocolate-chip-cookies/ I used soy milk instead of yogurt. I used Earth Balance or Fleishmann's unsalted in place of the butter. I used Enjoy Life chips. For flour, I used a 50/50 mix of amaranth and tapioca. I also put in some xanthan gum, but I can't remember how much. But I think I used this guide: http://glutenfreecooking.about.com/od/glutenfreecookingbasics/a/xanthanguargums.htm so it would have been 1/2 tsp x gum per cup of flours. These cookies were wonderful ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a 2 day old, 2 year old twins, and a 5 year old this seems the way to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for scratch cooking, but sometimes you just need some convenience. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuckabella Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 1 cup peanut butter 1 cup sugar (or less, depends on what you like) 1 egg Mix well. Bake 350 7-10 minutes (depends how crispy you like them). I think it is a recipe I learned from a Pampered Chef showing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cross contamination is a real problem. It is wonderful that you are finding these for your friend! They look yummy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
