Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are a big favorite here, and frequently requested, and they are eaten very quickly by visitors, too.
These are dairy & gluten free. They could also be egg, corn, and soy free with ingredient adjustments. I have made them with egg substitutes, and they were tasty.

Ingredients

1 stick (8 oz) margarine or shortening, softened
1 [...]

Wacky Cake and Cupcakes

You will find many variations of this recipe online. The story is that the Wacky Cake recipe was created during WWII when eggs and butter were rationed. I’ve also heard it called “Depression Cake” for similar reasons. Regardless of its origins, it’s a very moist and yummy cake, very reliable, and so [...]

Great Gluten-Free Focaccia

This is one of the few bread products I got to work when we were egg-free. If you toast it, it will make a good base for a stuffing, too. You can slice it into triangles (like a pizza) to serve next to dinner, or slice it in other shapes and slice through [...]

Iced Lemonade Cookies

Very yummy. This came from a taste in my head and an OJ cookie recipe in a book I was reading. Many failed adaptations later, here it is.
This is a delicious gfcf, gluten free, family-friendly recipe! It is also (if you double check ingredients!) a wheat free, dairy free, soy free, [...]

Fall Harvest Cobbler

(or, a cobbler you can make when you have a little of everything, but not a lot of anything)
This is gfcf, and free of gluten, wheat, dairy, egg, nut, tree nut, berry, fish, shellfish, sesame, and soy. It is also vegetarian and vegan. Please check the canned cherry pie filling to make sure [...]

Chocolate sour cream cupcakes

The original recipe for this is in Rosemarie Enro’s Bakin’ Without Eggs. I’ve just made a few substitutions to make it safe for our diet.
Ingredients:

1 cup gf flour (sorghum and/or bean work well here)
2/3 cup starch (arrowroot, tapioca, potato, or some mix)
1 1/2 tsp xanthan gum or guar gum
1 3/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup cocoa [...]

Gluten Free Sugar Cookies

A classic cookie – everyone loves these! And oh my gosh are these yummy!

1 cup starch (arrowroot, corn, tapioca, potato)
2 tsp xanthan gum

pinch kosher salt
2 egg yolks (save the egg whites to make snowdrops later)
3 TBS coconut milk (or whatever milk [...]

Cinnamon Donuts

adapted from an adaptation by a friend from a recipe in Roben Ryberg’s GF Kitchen book
Very light. A bit crispy on the outside, light and chewy on the inside. These donuts would please a newly-GF donut lover.
Enjoy the Chocolate donuts recipe, too!
This is a delicious gfcf, gluten free, family-friendly recipe! It is also (if [...]

Hawaiian Cookies

Trader Joes was advertising coffee cookies with macadamia nuts, coconut, and chocolate chips. This really excited me, so here is the result:
Ingredients

1 cup shortening
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup instant coffee crystals (I use decaf)
2 tsp vanilla
1 TBS egg replacer mixed with 2 TBS warm water
1/4 cup applesauce (or sub this and [...]
