RecipesGluten Free Chocolate Crinkles
Servings: yields 3 dozen cookies
Transfer melted chocolate to a medium sized bowl. Whisk in oil and sugar. Mix in eggs, one at a time. Whisk the vanilla in. Mixture should be thick. Add the flour mix, xanthan gum, salt and baking powder. Mix everything together (should be the consistency of brownie batter). Refrigerate for an hour or more, until the mixture has firmed up. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place powdered sugar into a small bowl. Roll dough into small balls (dough should be stiff) and roll in powdered sugar. Place 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet greased with palm shortening, and bake for 10-12 minutes (just until tops feel slightly firm). Let cool on sheet for 3 minutes before removing to wire rack. *Gluten Free Flour Mix: Makes 3 cups
Mix all ingredients together and use as directed. Recipe by Sarah Shilhavy
I'd love to try these... but I don't have the gluten free flour mix. None of my family is... oh whatever its called that you can't have gluten, something with a c I know... so I've never had to not make something without gluten. :( What is xanthan gum? and do I need to find a special store to get brown rice flour? Or can I make it at home? :)

Oh, you mean Celiac?
Xanthan gum is a type of stabilizer/thickener. It's often used as a substitute for gluten. You can order the brown rice flour from Tropical Traditions. You could also try making it yourself; I don't know exactly how (it's a soaking and milling process) but it can be done if you have a grain mill or strong blender. You could look it up. :)

Easy to find brown rice flour at any Co-Op or health food store. Many grocery stores are now carrying it as well - usually in a health food section or gluten-free section.

I've made my own brown rice flour. You just grind it in a grain grinder like any other grain. I don't soak it ahead of time, because I soak all of my dough, but you can soak it for 7 hours in water and whey, dry it in the dehydrator till completely dry, then grind it. In this way, you could skip the soaking process before baking.

I love chocolate Crinkles. Haven't had them in ages and am anxious to try these.
I've had people in my family for a long time that need to be gluten free but I've never heard of soaking wheat before grinding/using and or soaking dough. What are we talking about?? Why do you soak it & how would you soak dough??? I know my mother used to make fresh gluten by soaking a flour & water dough, & then washing and washing until just the gluten was left (It was seasoned in the cooking process & was absolutely yummy) but I wouldn't think you'd want to do that with a recipe & ... you're trying to get away from gluten anyway ... right?

I noticed there is 1/2 tsp of xanthan gum in both the main recipe and the gluten-free flour recipe. Do I use both or just the one in the GF flour recipe?
