“Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies”
|
From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection
Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies - These cookies use sweet rice flour, also known as glutinous rice flour. Don't be fooled by the name; there's no gluten in glutinous rice flour (or any rice flour, for that matter). This flour, like most gluten-free flours, is easy to find if an Asian grocery can be located. It can also be found in many boutique grocery stores, such as Trader Joe's or Whole Foods. Other gluten-free flours may be substituted, but be prepared to adjust the amount of flour needed to compensate for variations in starchiness.
It should go without saying, for any household coping with celiac disease, that it is imperative to make sure all your ingredients, work surfaces, and utensils are free of gluten contamination. Special care should be taken with compound ingredients such as baking powder; make sure its ingredients list does not include gluten-containing items such as modified food starch.
The cookies are pictured to the right with various additions to the dough. Experimenting is encouraged, but please be careful choosing additions. Some of the cookies pictured have oats added, which introduce trace amounts of gluten and are not safe for celiacs.
Equipment• Large mixing bowl
• Stand mixer and bowl (or a hand-held mixer and a medium mixing bowl)
• Wooden spoon
• Cookie sheet
• Non-stick silicone baking sheet liner (Silpat, etc.)
Ingredients
• ½ cup (1 stick) (120ml) butter
• ½ cup (120ml) sugar
• ½ cup (120ml) brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 1¼ cup (300ml) (1 cup + 2 tablespoons) sweet rice flour
• 1 tsp xanthan gum
• ¾ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• Chocolate chips (as many as you like)
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. Mix the sweet rice flour, xanthan gum, baking powder and baking soda in a large mixing bowl.
3. In a smaller mixing bowl or stand mixer, cream the butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla and continue mixing.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Don't worry about over-mixing; since there is no gluten in the flour, there is no danger of overworking it.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
6. Line cookie sheet with silicone mat and spoon on balls of dough, about 1½" (4cm) in diameter.
7. Bake until golden brown.
Notes
This will likely take longer to bake than a gluten-containing cookie recipe—perhaps about 25 minutes. Baking time will depend on the flour you use, since the protein content of the flour will determine the rate of browning from the Maillard reaction.
The silicone baking sheet liner is important, as these cookies tend to stick to the pan more than most. If you don't have one, parchment paper might also work.

“ Gluten Free Carrot Cake Recipe”
toddlers activity & easy kids recipe Australia child free recipe wheat
Staying away from gluten is difficult for those who suffer from gluten intolerance or wheat sensitivity. Gluten is in everything and most flours traditionally used for baking. Many of the treats and cakes you eat everyday no longer are available when you are wheat intolerant. If you have a sweet tooth like myself and are intolerant to gluten, you need to have a few sweet recipes in reserve which offer you a little treat for all your hard work you put in, avoiding gluten.
Carrot Cake is a delicous sweet cake, whose name is probably its worst enemy when it comes to being accepted by the masses. For those who know how good carrot cake can be , here is a verison which is gluten free.
1/2 cup Gluten Free Flower( Combination of Tapioca, Rice, Potato flour)
1/2 cup of Almond meal
1 teaspoon baking powder ( gluten free)
1 teaspoon bi carb soda ( gluten free)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch salt
Pinch of xanthum gum ( cake thickener-Gluten free)
1/2 cup brown sugar (can use raw if not available)
1/4 cup of Extra light Olive oil
2 eggs
2 cups of grated carrots (aprox 4-6 carrots depending on size)
Optional - 1/3 cup sultanas
Lemon juice
Grate carrots and squeeze over some lemon juice to keep them from going brown. Beat eggs and sugar together then add sifted dry ingredients and everything else and mix! Greese and line a loaf tin pour in mixture and bake for 40-50 mins until golden brown on top at 180cThis cake is foolproof and really delicious!!
If you are not Dairy intolerant you can make up cream cheese frosting to put on Cake as well. But I like it without frosting as well. If I make frosting, I prefer to make a light sweetened cream cheese frosting.
1-8 ounce package cream cheese
1/2 cup butter softened (Can use Dairy free/lactose free substitute)
1/4 -1/2 cup sugar -To taste depending on your sweet tooth.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Its easier to soften the butter first. There is no exact amount to use for sugar so just experiment and add to taste.Spread the frosting ontop of carrot cake. Have this carrot cake for dessert with frosting and vanilla ice cream, or for breakfast. I have baked it about 20 times and everyone raves about it! Enjoy and rememebr, just because its gluten free doesnt mean it cant taste good.
Note: Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley or any product made from derivitives of these grains. Gluten gives bread elasticity, however many flours are availble which are gluten free.Buck wheat, Tapioca, Rice , Besan, Quinoa, and Potato flour are Gluten free flours.
