Chocolate Chip Maple Raisin Cookies

Yummy yum yum!  I love baking with this mix!! I like to be creative when adding in my "add ins", my "extras".

This time I added Tahitian Vanilla extract, maple syrup, bittersweet chocolate chips, semisweet chocolate chips, xanthan gum and raisins.

The mix is King Arthur.


First I prepare what the mix calls for: water, butter, eggs, the mix and vanilla extract.

Then I wii out my special tahitian vanilla pure extract.  It gives it a little kick.

Then I take out of the fridge the unsalted butter, 1 stick.  I soften it in the microwave and begin to follow instructions for this mix.  This mix comes plain.  No chips, so be prepared to add in your own special stuff.  

Before I added the extras I added in 1 tbsp. maple syrup, 1/4 tsp xanthan gum, 1tsp tahitian vanilla extract and I mixed well with an electric mixer.

Then I added in 2/3 cup of bittersweet chocolate chips
Almost 1 cup of mini semisweet chocolate chips
1 box of raisins



Masterpiece!! They came out sooo good!  And as an added topping for Halloween? or any holiday? Add Betty Crocker Whipped or Buttercream (gluten-free) icing on top of the cookie and top with a second cookie making cookie sandwich! For Halloween?  Beat in 1-2 tsp. black food coloring or orange food coloring.



P.S.!! Microwave the cookies for about 12 seconds before serving (without the icing).

Enjoy!! xoxo Julie
Have a spooktacular Halloween!!

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

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...

What's in The Gatorade You Are Drinking?

I don't know why I never blogged about this, but I have known it for some time.  And was just reminded of this the other day while I was at CVS and felt the need to spread the gluten-free word.  I also tweeted it. Did you know that certain Gatorade flavors like the fruit punch (red) flavor has caramel coloring in it?  Yup! It totally does. In the U.S. a processed product considered gluten-free has 20 or below 20ppm ( parts per million ).  Therefore products can seem gluten-free and even say gluten-free, even if they are not 100% gluten-free because our standards allow that and consider it Gluten-Free.   And different processed foods contain different levels of gluten-some contain less then 10ppm or even 5 parts per million.  That's lower but still...no cigar. The less you consume the better and the article I just found on Celiacdisease.about.com  points that the more under 20ppm/10/5ppm products you consume, the more gluten in your system...
