The Best Way To Purchase Gluten Free Cookies In Your Cookie Jar (Caren Billy)

Something most of us have been hearing more and more about on the news, from doctors, and from family and friends, is the need for a gluten-free lifestyle. Gluten, a protein complex present in wheat, barley, and rye, is found to be the main cause of sickness for those diagnosed with Celiac disease. Eating gluten free takes a little effort on anyone's part, but it's a crucial part of life for different reasons for different people. Regardless how any of us change our diets, we all want the capability to eat foods that we find comforting, and that primarily holds true when it comes to sweets. High quality gluten free cookies can be hard to locate and often, online retailers are a great way to save time and money.

Going the gluten free way most likely is not done by choice, or it may be a vital, life changing decision. The symptoms of gluten intolerance, attributable to an autoimmune disorder of the small intestine, have been found to be relieved only when gluten is removed from the diet. Lately, the number of people with Celiac disease is growing larger, and these people have been told that keeping gluten out of their food and their home will help.

Finding gluten free foods in most local grocery stores is challenging. White and brown rice, potatoes and tapioca are just some of the many grains and vegetables that can be utilized as a substitute for wheat flour. Every type of flour has different tastes, characteristics, uses and nutritional content, and successful gluten free foods will often use a variety of flours to create a great tasting well-textured product.

Many people love baked goods, and some people will find that baking gluten free goods that taste good will take some trial and error. Gluten is a protein that can help baked goods to hold their shape. When selecting gluten free cookies and other baked goods, it's important to find a product that doesn't crumble and has a really good, smooth texture.

It can be hard for most people to find a variety of, or even any gluten free foods in their local supermarket. There's a lot of online websites where these items can be found in abundance and at low prices. You can find merchants that can be found online that supply many varieties of cakes, cookies, breads and much more that are gluten free.

Finding pleasurable, gluten free foods can be a difficult and even depressing venture, especially for someone with a number of dietary restrictions. Finding baked goods that aren't just gluten free, but also dairy and nut free is often a challenging, but well rewarding feat. Companies that offer foods for those with multiple needs can oftentimes be highly trusted to avoid cross-contamination. If you've got an illness that makes it necessary that you forgo any gluten, you can trust that a company that specializes in selling gluten free products is knowledgeable with the foods they sell.

Baking gluten free cookies, muffins and other delicious goods is a difficult skill to master and cannot be done by just anyone. Finding a retailer who knows about the wide array of gluten free flours available and how each one affects foods differently can make a huge difference on the quality of their products. Finding a wide variety of gluten free foods can be difficult, unless you've found a good seller, local or online.

Cookie Making Made Easy My Busy Mom Method By Chris Rawstern

In the early 1970s, when I was very young and with small children to care for, I had a few cookie recipes I would make very often, because they were simple recipes, with ingredients I usually had at hand. Cookies are a terrific snack, don?t require utensils to pick up and eat and can be made ahead for a party. However, even with all that, they are just not my favorite things to make, because they need to be made either by dropping individually onto the baking sheet, rolling out and cutting (making a mess on the counter and more cleanup), or the often added step of having to chill the dough before working. I like immediacy. I want to mix up a recipe, bake it, clean up and be done.

One morning I made a batch of these cookies, finally popped the last pan in the oven, and set the timer. Itching to get outside for a bit and see what the children were doing, I went out and got distracted. By the time I remembered the cookies in the oven, they had burnt and shrunken down to tiny little black hockey pucks - not even the dogs had any interest in them! It pays not to get distracted when baking. This was the last straw. I had to think of a better way.

I came up with a brilliant idea that I call my Busy-Mom-Method one I use to this day. Rather than take the time to make all the individual cookies by batches, with separate baking times (and time to get distracted), I would roll the cookie dough directly onto a greased baking sheet, working it evenly to the edges and baking it as one large cookie. It is best to use a baking sheet that has three open sides, as it is simpler to maneuver the rolling pin and get the cookie rolled evenly. Keep in mind also, that a little more flour may be needed in the dough to allow for lifting it out and forming into a rough rectangle for rolling. Also, a little extra flour over the surface while rolling helps to keep the rolling pin from sticking. Try not to add any more flour than absolutely necessary, or the cookies will come out denser and harder.

It takes a few minutes more in the oven with one large cookie, but it comes out perfectly. Just watch for the edges to be golden, and the center to be set. With these cookies, I also make a simple icing that is just 1 1/2 cups of confectioners sugar, a pinch of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla and enough water or milk to make a relatively thick consistency (very slow to fall from the spoon). Spread this over the hot cookie straight from the oven. The hot cookie warms the icing, making it melt and spread easily, using the back of the same spoon I used to mix the icing. I am all for less cleanup! Once the cookie cools, the icing dries and hardens, and I just cut the large cookie into small bar or square shapes, and voila, cookies in half the time. Two of my favorite recipes for this method were Hermits and Simple Vanilla Cookies. If you are a busy mom, try this method with any simple cookie dough. The Hermit cookies had raisins in them, but the thickness of the dough was no less than the thickness of the raisins, so it still worked well.
Simple Vanilla Cookies

Makes about 7 dozen

1 cup unsalted butter
2/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

Cream butter, shortening and sugar. Add vanilla and salt. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in flour, mixing well. Drop from a teaspoon 2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Flatten with floured, flat-bottomed glass. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove immediately from pan.

These Simple Vanilla Cookies are incredibly good, from such a simple recipe. Don't take my word - try them out, either as individual cookies, or with my busy-mom-method.
