Guest guest Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Are you looking for no cane sugar/corn syrup, or one that uses stevia or artificial sweeteners? Are things like dates, honey, maple syrup okay?

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 -Hi Pam, Pref with stevia but dates are ok and maple syrup and honey in small amounts. My sweet tooth will be my downfall! -- In , pdw <pdworkman wrote: > > Are you looking for no cane sugar/corn syrup, or one that uses stevia > or artificial sweeteners?

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Here is one I have been working on. I am trying to make a cookie that will work for all of my friends and family events. It is therefore gluten-free, vegan (if using one of the alternatives to honey), soy-free, rice-free, no corn syrup or cane sugar, no apple, no cinnamon, chocolate, or vanilla. It is not grain-free, as I have not experimented with any other flours in it. You can probably leave the xanthan gum out without them falling apart. They were not sweet enough with just the dates, so I added an extra tbs of sweetener, use whichever one works for you. They are the nice golden brown of a molasses cookie, without the molasses. I apologize that the dates are weighed rather than a volume measure. I use both loose dates and a compressed block of baking dates, so I weighed them when creating the recipe so I could be consistent no matter what kind of dates I had on hand! Hopefully you have a kitchen scale or a package marked with the dry weight of your dates. Emily’s Ginger Cookies 200 g/14 dry ounces dates (soaked for an hour or two) 3 tbs oil (I used canola) 2 tbs date soaking water 1 tbs honey/maple syrup/agave nectar 1 1/4 c sorghum flour 1/2 c tapioca flour 1/4 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp xanthan gum 1/8 tsp ground ginger 1/2 tsp nutmeg 1. Preheat oven 350F 2. Process first four ingredients (drain the dates) in food processor until very smooth. 3. Whisk together the dry ingredients, add them to the wet ingredients and process/stir together 4. Form 1 – 1 1/2” balls, flatten cookie try lined with parchment. They will not spread. Bake 11 min. 5. Makes approx 21 cookies Pam On Fri, Jul 17, 2009 at 8:52 PM, hollyhedge_2004<bethbell wrote: > > > -Hi Pam, > Pref with stevia but dates are ok and maple syrup and honey in small > amounts. > My sweet tooth will be my downfall! > > -- In , pdw <pdworkman wrote: >> >> Are you looking for no cane sugar/corn syrup, or one that uses stevia >> or artificial sweeteners?

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 That's really neat, Pam. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I've been wanting to experiment with dates more after falling for Lara bars! On Sun, Jul 19, 2009 at 5:25 PM, pdw <pdworkman wrote: > Here is one I have been working on.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 I think they would also work as graham crackers, if you leave out/go light on the spices and roll them flat. I may use this base for a few different cookies. Pam On Mon, Jul 20, 2009 at 3:34 PM, Sally Parrott Ashbrook<sally.parrott wrote: > That's really neat, Pam. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
