Guest guest Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 We've been GF for 5 years, and a little over a year ago we discovered kid3 has an egg allergy. So, I still make SOME things with egg, but strive to make everything egg-free so I don't have to keep track of who eats what! I am really having cookie troubles. I can do " graham " crackers, sugar cookies, and soynut butter cookies ok, but we are really craving a good chocolate chip cookie w/o egg. I've been through two recipes today, neither of them turned out well....they spread out very thin and had holes in the tops....icky icky icky. Anyone have a TNT Chocolate chip cookie recipe?! I would prefer not to " just replace the egg with egg replacer, " as that doesn't seem to work for us. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 I make a fabulous cookie that is GF, soy free, vegan. however, it does use gluten free oats. If you can have those Instead of two eggs, use 2 full tablespoons of ground flax seed. Place the flax seed in a small bowl and add 7 tablespoons of very hot water (I just pour mine from the teakettle to a cup and scoop it from there) Whip it around with a small whisk or a spoon and let it sit for about 10 minutes. It will have the texture of egg whites, very elastic and sticky. Meanwhile: Blend a scant 1/2 C coconut oil with 1/2 C peanut butter (I use chunky) This also works with cashew butter if you cannot have peanuts. Add 1 1/2 C brown sugar and 3 - 4 T maple syrup (if you don't have this, don't worry, you may just need to add another T or 2 of water) Beat until creamy. Then, beat in the cooled flax mixture. To that, add 3 C oats and blend well. Mix together in a small bowl, 1/3 c of sorghum flour and 2/3 c of coconut flour, 1 teaspoon each of baking soda and baking powder. Add this dry blend to the wet blend. Stir in one bag (12oz) of sunspire choco chips (or some other gluten free/soy free/dairy free semi sweet chocolate bits) If this mixture is too stiff for you to stir, just add a few T of water Drop by rounded spoons on stainless cookie sheet and flatten gently with the back of the spoon. Bake at 375 for about 12 minutes. Time depends on size of cookies and your elevation. Remove from oven and rest on tray for one minute, remove. I cut open a brown paper grocery bag and put them on there to cool as it absorbs any excess oil. Everyone loves these cookies. coconut flour gives and incredible chewy texture to any GF sweets. let me know if you make them! Pat mcgrawzoo Sat, 6 Sep 2008 19:21:46 +0000 grr....need cookie help!

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Oooh! I just posted these. They're banana-macadamia chocolate chip cookies and they're REALLY REALLY good. At this point they're my favorite by far, and they're gluten,dairy, egg, soy and corn free. http://www.gfgoodness.com/2008/09/06/101-cookbooks/ It was so nice to have a chocolate chip cookie that really felt like the real thing. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Did that make sense? If there are two eggs in a recipe, I'd probably use 1 cup natural applesauce + 1 Tbls Egg Replacer + 1 tsp baking powder (in addition to whatever the recipe calls for) Sometimes you can reduce the sugar and/or fat in a recipe, due to the applesauce/pureed fruit, another side-benefit.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 These are my absolute favorite chocolate chip cookies, and there are pictures on my website. http://www.gfgoodness.com/2008/09/06/101-cookbooks/ Banana Mac-Chip cookies 3/4 cup sorghum flour 1/2 cup ivory teff flour 1/4 cup arrowroot starch 1/4 cup sweet rice flour 1/4 cup flaxseed meal 1 tablespoon mesquite (or 1 more tablespoon teff) 1/4 teaspoon sea salt scant 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes 1 rounded teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/3 cup coconut oil 3 Tablespoons macadamia butter or cashew mac butter 1/2 cup agave 2 Tablespoons of molasses 2 Tablespoons vanilla 1/3 cup sparkling (bubbly) water 1 cup (measured pre-chopped) macadamia nuts, lightly toasted and salted 2/3 cup banana chips 2/3 cup chocolate chips (dairy and soy free) Chop macadamia nuts and banana chips. I finely chopped about 1/3 of them, and left the rest coarsely chopped. Chop banana chips. Mix dry ingredients together thoroughly. Cream the coconut oil, nut butter and sweeteners, then add vanilla. Mix wet and dry, add in the bubbly water and add ins. Chill for 30 minutes. Put walnut sized mounds on a silpat or parchment about 2 inches apart. Bake at 350 for 8-9 minutes or until they start turning a yummy golden brown. LET COOKIES COOL COMPLETELY before moving them, or they will definitely crumble.
