Oooohhh... ChristmasGirl.... I might have to try those cookies. I'm especially excited to learn that Spectrum has shortening that isn't soy based... still using Crisco over here.

I was going to post a sugar cookie recipe that we made yesterday, but it is VERY similar (only major substitute is tapioca/potato starch flour blend instead of the bean flours). Ours were great (gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free) so I'm guessing yours will be too! I did the same for icing, except added a little water (or you can add any kind of milk) to the mix. I had to roll mine out between wax paper dusted with flour... it was easier that way. YUMMY!!! Mine said to bake at 375 for about 6 minutes.

Grrr! The other ones I was going to post AREN'T gluten-free... We're WHEAT-free here so sometimes I get confused.

What did you use in place of the eggs? I get frustrated with applesauce because it makes things so sticky and that's hard for rolling out dough...

Do you think I could do softened butter in these instead of the shortening? We don't have any right now and I can't get to the store but these would be fun to make...

The recipe I used:

1/2 c brown rice flour
1/4 c white rice flour
1/2 c potato starch
1/4 c tapioca starch
3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon powdered egg replacer (***see end of post***)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c margarine (I just used Crisco)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2-3 Tablespoons water

Combine dry ingredients. Set aside.
Cream margarine and sugar. Add vanilla & 2 T water. Add wet mixture to dry mixture. Add more water if needed - just until dough comes together.

Roll between two sheets of wax paper. Use cookie cutters. Bake at 375 oven for 6 minutes, or until edges just beginning to brown.


***SonshineMama posted 8 homemade egg replacements in this thread:
http://www.gentlechristianmothers.co...ht=replacement

I bet those with the powders would work in this recipe. But I would omit the water because this recipe already takes into account using a powdered egg substitute. Just add more water in the end if the dough isn't forming together nicely- like traditional sugar cookie dough.

For the egg replacer I use, that 1 teaspoon wouldn't quite equal a full egg (2/3)... so you might want to reduce these homemade ones a bit if you use one of those in this recipe.

Hope that helps!!!

The only problem with butter is cookies don't hold their shape as well... shortening stays the same form no matter the temp. But I personally don't think it would matter enough... certainly not for a test run. I would use butter if I could eat it!

GF Chocolate Crinkles are by far the best GF cookie I've ever made. Gluten eaters love them and can't tell they are GF.

Chocolate Crinkles

1/2 c vegetable oil (I used coconut oil)
4 squares unsweetened chocolate, melted
2 c sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 c rice flour mix (I also used a little garbanzo bean flour)
1/2 t xanthan gum
1/4 t salt
1 t baking powder
confectioners sugar

Mix oil, chocolate, and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly between each. Add vanilla. Measure flour by "dip-level-pour" method. Stir into chocolate mix along with salt, xanthan gum, and baking powder. Chill several hours or overnight. Heat oven to 350. Form dough into balls (it will be stiff) and roll in confectioners sugar to coat. Place about 2" apart on a greased baking sheet. Bake about 10-14 minutes.

I made my own confectioner sugar because traditional confectioner sugar has corn in it. You use a ratio of 1 cup white sugar to 1 tablespoon starch (I used potato starch). You put the sugar in a blender or coffee grinder and pulvarize it. It's not quite as fine as the store-bought kind, but it works well.

These cookies are awesome with or without coconut oil, but using high quality coconut oil adds just a touch of coconut flavor.

Here's the recipe for Cinnamon Stars. I'll let you decide how time-intensive.

Quote:
Cinnamon Stars
Quote:
flourless - gluten-free
(yield 80 pieces) 3 egg whites
8 oz. powdered sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 drops almond extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
14 oz. ground almonds


Whip egg whites to a peak. Sift powdered sugar and slowly add to egg whites. Set aside 3 tablespoons of egg whites to decorate cookies. Add vanilla, almond extract, cinnamon and ground almonds. Put dough into a plastic bag and roll out to about 1/4 inch. Refrigerate bag for about 15 minutes. Cut bag open. Cut out cookies with a 2 inch star shaped cookie cutter and transfer onto baking pan lined with parchment paper. Brush cookies with egg whites
Bake at 250 F for approximately 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 210 F and bake for another 30 minutes.
The brushed egg whites should remain white. (approximately 40 calories per cookie).Tip:
You can use ground hazelnuts instead of ground almonds.
There's also this recipe from the food network. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/f...ipe/index.html

I have a friend who is gluten free and can't have sugar... not even agave syrup. I don't suppose anyone has any ideas for how to sweeten cookies without sugar, honey, or agave? I would love to make her some kind of a treat.

Dates or ground carrots or concentrated juices (whole fruit juices) are good for that.
