| My friend recently got diagnosed with Celiac. Does anyone have any great gluten-free cookie recipes for the holidays? |

We have another dietary restriction in our house and I have always found King Arthur to be a very good source for that one: https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/collections/gluten-free-cookie-recipes |

| If they can have peanuts there is a great monster cookie in the cookie and Kate website. I lessen the peanut butter and up the oats to make it less goey. https://cookieandkate.com/monster-cookies-recipe/ |

| Most cookie recipes bake fine with a one for one substitution of gluten free flour. |

| We made the simple mill almond flour chocolate chips recently. Super good. Can be made vegan as well. |

| Are you making cookies for your friend? If so, you need to be careful because some people with Celiac can be very sensitive if foods are cooked/baked on items that gluten foods have touched. Obviously, people clean everything but there is still a chance if the person is very sensitive. Instead, you could get her some items from a certified gluten-free bakery (Rise Bakery in DC, Happy Tart in VA, Red Bandana in Bethesda). |

It’s not that hard to be careful. Don’t cook with gluten flour at exactly the same time (if you’re making gluten cookies, make the gf ones first). If you’re cooking them in the same oven at the same time (which you definitely can), always put the gf stuff on the top rack and gluten on the bottom. Wash stuff in the dishwasher, take it out with clean hands, cook on parchment paper, you’ll be fine. It’s nice that you want to do this for your friend! Celiac can be lonely and friends who make an effort are treasures. -Celiac |

Very important to use the block almond paste and not the tube stuff. |

| Be aware that some celiac still react to oats. Even certified gluten-free oats. It’s some thing about the protein in it. Cornflower can be similar. It’s worth asking them. |

Recent diagnosed is a tough place. They are most likely trying things out and seeing how it goes. You will have to watch out for cross contamination in things like oats and corn meal/flour. So only use thing ingredients that are labeled as gluten free ie Quaker Old Fashioned Oats can make them sick while Bob’s Red mill gluten free oats or Quaker Old Fashioned Oats gluten free will be okay. |

Some of us can’t eat any oats. It’s not just a cross contamination issue. It can be the oats themselves that cause reactions/flares. |

| I bake pretty much everything using the Bobs Red Mill all purpose replacement, and they all work out perfectly. |

Please don’t bake for a celiac in your home if you use wheat flour for other things. Wheat flour gets airborne and it’s hard to avoid cross contamination no matter how well meaning you are. Please just buy them at a dedicated gluten free bakery.

For my DD who has a non-celiac gluten sensitivity I tend toward things that are naturally GF -- homemade marshmallows, meringues, rice crispy treats
