I have recently experienced the "joys" of gluten-free cooking. It is amazing how much stuff has gluten in it!We have a missionary at church who has celiac disease and I usually have them over for dinner at least once a month. I always want to make something special for them since they are far away from home and work so hard. I had to scrap so many of my ideas because of gluten. Did you know soy sauce has wheat in it? What a pain!
I did find this recipe for gluten-free cookies that only has 4 ingredients and taste great! I put Kenna in charge of making these and she loved it!
Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Cookies
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
Mix the above ingredients in a mixing box until fully incorporated. Roll the dough into 1 inch balls and place on cookie sheet. Press crisscross pattern onn cookie dough ball with tongs of a fork. Place in oven at 325 degrees for 7-9 minutes.
I recently spent a week cooking for my cousin with celiac and was also shocked that there was gluten in almost everything I make. I went through all the main dishes on my blog and found maybe 5 that weren't . I was totally amazed at what a lifestyle adjustment being celiac would be. How wonderful to cook things that the missionary can especially eat. I bet he appreciates that. I tried to make some gluten free pb cookies while my cousin was here and ended up just using a gluten free flour mix from the health store. Good, but not quite the same. Plus yours look much easier.
ReplyDeletePS I discovered that La Choy soy sauce does not contain gluten.
A cookie recipe 2/ only 4 items in it!!!! NICE AD SIMPLE
ReplyDeleteThey look like the PB cookies I used to make when I was a kid. So simple and so yummy!!!
ReplyDeleteWe have been making these cookies for years... they are easy and yummy, gluten or no gluten!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, gluten and wheat are in everything. My 2 year old is allergic to wheat and it is so hard to find things for him to eat. We have a very hard time going out away from the house with him. These look very yummy, not like you would miss the wheat at all :D
