Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies


So I think I can now say that Betty Crocker comes to the rescue in times of bind.  Her devils food cake rocked, her chocolate chip cookie mix made vegan was worthy and now the latest Chocolate Coconut Chip Cookies.  I don't use her mixes as is.  I always add ingredients.  I find without the additions the mixes arent fabulous, and gluten-free should be, well Fabulous!

They are great basic mixes, but they do need other ingredients.

I decided to play around with extracts this time.  I of course added in the xanthan gum, because her mixes do not use that, and that is essential!  I added in 1/4 tsp. of xanthan gum, 1/2 tsp. Coconut extract and 1/2 tsp. Chocolate extract.  I also added in 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips (GF).  What a difference!  Omg! I brought these to work and everyone even the skeptics were dazzled by the taste!


Most importantly besides ingredients...is pressing the balls of cookie dough till flattened.  I have noticed with gluten-free baking once the dough is on the baking tray you must take three fingers and press down on each cookie.  The flatter they are, they better they will come out.  They just don't flatten enough on their own in the oven like regular cookies do, and I like my cookies paper thin. 

Oh! and don't forget!! Do not use too much dough for each cookie.  Less is more.  I learned that the first time I made them.



**a tip for fellow bakers and gluten-free newbies-extracts and fresh juice added as an ingredient to the cookie makes a WORLD of difference!!

Betty Crocker GF Mixes are now sold at Amazon.com as well as Betty Crocker online

Enjoy!

Not All Advil Is Gluten-Free!!!

After last night's POST , GF Advil was on my mind and I decided to call Advil/Pfizer this morning to get some more clarification.  In response to my post last night I advised through the website that Advil Liqui-gels, Advil Migraine and Advil Liqui-Gels PM contain a wheat derivative.  After my phone call with a lovely representative I received more information. - ALL ADVIL LIQUI-GELS contain a wheat derivative .   ALL LIQUI-GELS.  So stop these immediately if you are taking the Liqui-gels.  You maybe getting sick from a medication rather then a food and this is so important to recognize!  Just steer clear of Liqui-Gels. -ALL FORMS OF ADVIL MIGRAINE contain gluten .  There is no further information if it is just the Liqui-Gels or the Tablets, Caplets and Gel-Caps.  Pfizer does not have this info therefore they informed me to steer clear of all Advil Migraine pills. Here is what IS GLUTEN-FREE FROM ADVIL: All Advil Tablets, Gel-Caps ( which are different then Li

Hot Chocolate Coffee

Sometimes I feel like there are days only chocolate would understand.  And following a strict Paleo diet does not allot for chocolate eating.  Especially chocolate with added dried cane sugar.  And especially in abundance.  Of course special occasions allot for this type of activity, but today is not that day. So how do you put a sock in your chocolate craving?  Well, simply remove your sock from your foot and put it in your chocolate.  I'm kidding!  Please use a clean sock! Kidding again!!… Often, chocolate cravings can get the best of us, so I created a delicious recipe to kick my craving and your craving.  It's delicious.  And it's perfect for the lover of coffee and chocolate.  Taking a sip of this sent signals of pure decadence to my brain.

Magnolia Bakery-Cream Cheese Frosting

Another amazing frosting recipe from Magnolia!  I swear by these recipes, this is my go-to book for icing when I bake!! 1 pound (two 8-ounce packages) cream cheese, softened and cut into small pieces 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened and cut into small pieces 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract 5 cups sifted confectioners' sugar In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth, about 3 minutes.  Add the vanilla and beat well.  Gradually add the sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating continuously until smooth and creamy.  Cover and refrigerate icing for 2-3 hours, but no longer, to thicken before using. Makes enough for one 2-or 3-layer 9-inch cake Enjoy! xoxo Julie www.goodiegoodiegluten-free.blogspot.com
