NBR-Yummy cookies for Celiacs?

BrideBuddies · December 2010

So every year I host the neighborhood cookie swap. As it turns out, most of the people coming are either Gluten-free or have Celiac disease, which I understand is even more restrictive than just no wheat.

Anybody got a good cookie recipe that doesn't taste like poo-poo caca?? I was all ready to make oatmeal coconut macaroons, but then realized that even oatmeal is bad for Celiacs.

Thanks!

Sounds like a call out for Kandie!

My son has Celiac and I think it is awesome that you're trying to accommodate other people's food allergies and Celiac Disease. Pamela's makes a great chocolate chip cookie mix that can even be dairy free if you want. We use real butter, so it's just gluten-free for us and it tastes great! If you google "gluten-free cookie recipe" you'll probably come up with some great ideas. There are tons of great gluten-free cooking blogs out there. One thing to keep in mind though is that cross-contamination in your kitchen can be a problem for those with Celiac Disease. So, use a brand new stick of butter-- not one that has been touched with a knife that has also touched regular bread. Same goes for peanut butter or any other condiment. Also, any porous cooking utensils or bowls that may have been used for regular baking (rubber spatulas, wooden or plastic cutting boards, plastic bowls, wooden spoons, silipat sheets, etc.) could still have traces of gluten on them that could upset some Celiac's stomachs. A good idea might be to spread foil over your baking sheet. Good luck and thanks for being so aware of others' dietary restrictions!
