Seasider Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Any ideas? The easiest looking recipe I've found seems to be using the Betty Crocker gf cake mix to make cookie dough. If any of you have tried and true recipes, I'd like to hear them. However, the challenge is that we have nut allergies so I can't use anything with almond or other nut flours.

Spryte Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 We are allergic to tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, dairy and more. I had given up on roll out sugar cookies, but was so excited to find a recipe this year! http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/gluten-free-christmas-sugar-cookies/d3ab2026-54a3-4ff5-9c81-3f38b30acd89 It uses Betty Crocker rice flour, and they label for may contains. There is no nut warning, and.I trust their labeling. We used dairy subs, but I bet they'd be great with real dairy. I found that they baked quickly, and came out better when I lowered the temp a bit and watched carefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I had to order the flour from Amazon prime, so if you can't find it locally, hurry. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasider Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 Thank you, Spryte! Do they handle well for decorating, or do they crumble? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroline Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I made the gluten free sugar cookies on the land o lakes website. I used both glutino and King arthur gluten free flour. They are a little brittle, but we iced them and out sprinkles on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 They were crumblier than non GF cookies, but not too bad with practice. Be gentle, and you'll be ok. I found that a smaller size cookie was easier to handle, so we used our smaller cookie cutters - about an inch, maybe an inch and a half in diameter. They don't turn golden exactly, like the recipe said. I found that if we waited for that, they would be overdone. Once we got the hang of not overcooking them - it was good. We made a double batch and they are gone. Making more tomorrow! Even the non GF kids liked them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those look great. :) Do you have a source for tapioca flour, potato starch flour and sweet rice flour that's not cross-contaminated with tree nuts, sesame or peanuts? I would so love to find one, it would open up our baking world in a big way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
