Alright, let’s talk about these gluten free sandwich cookies. You know, the kind you can eat without your stomach grumbling like an old tractor. I ain’t no fancy baker, mind you, but I figured out a way to make ’em taste pretty darn good, even without that gluten stuff.
First off, you gotta understand, gluten free bakin’, it’s a whole different animal. It’s like tryin’ to plow a field with a mule instead of a tractor. Things get dry real quick, see? So, you gotta add some moisture. How do you do that? Well, you can use more butter, or oil even. Some folks like to throw in some applesauce or that pumpkin mush. Me? I like to use that brown sugar, makes things a bit moister and gives it a nice taste, you know?
Now, some folks say gluten free cookies, they crumble too much. Well, yeah, they do a bit, but that’s just the way it is. They’re a bit sweeter too, not just the sugar, but somethin’ else makes ’em sweet. But don’t you worry, they still taste good. You just gotta get used to it, like gettin’ used to a new pair of shoes.
- Make ’em Chocolatey: Now, if you want to make these cookies real special, you gotta add some of that dark cocoa powder. The kind that’s real dark and smells strong. Don’t skimp on it, get the good stuff. It makes a world of difference, trust me.
- Keep it Simple: I ain’t got time for fancy recipes with a hundred ingredients. I like to keep things simple. You can make some real good cookies with just a few things, like those oatmeal cookies, just three things and you’re done. Fifteen minutes to get it all mixed up, no baking even. Easy as pie, or easier even, since we ain’t makin’ no pie.
- Lots of Flavors: You can make all sorts of gluten free cookies, not just these sandwich ones. You can make them thin and crispy, or chewy and chunky, whatever you like. It’s like plantin’ a garden, you can grow all sorts of things, just gotta know what you’re doin’.
- Good for Everyone: These cookies, they ain’t just for folks with allergies or that gluten intolerance thing. They’re good for everyone. Whether you’re bakin’ for yourself, your grandkids, or the whole darn neighborhood, these cookies will do the trick. They’re tasty and that’s all that matters, right?
- Sugar Cookies Too: And if you like those sugar cookies, the soft ones? You can make those gluten free too. Quick and easy, thirty minutes and you’re done. And you can even make ’em without milk or eggs, if you need to. Ain’t that somethin’? Just make sure there ain’t no nuts in it if someone’s allergic, you know? Gotta be careful with that stuff.
So, to make these sandwich cookies, you start with your gluten free flour mix. I ain’t gonna tell you which one, you gotta find one you like. Then you add your cocoa powder, the dark kind, remember? And your sugar, brown sugar is best, like I said. And some butter, or oil if you want. Mix it all up real good, till it forms a dough. Not too sticky, not too dry, just right. You know, like when you’re makin’ biscuits, it’s gotta feel right in your hands.
Then you roll it out, not too thin, not too thick, and cut out your cookies. Round ones, square ones, whatever you want. Bake ’em till they’re done, but not too long, or they’ll get hard as rocks. Let ’em cool, then put some fillin’ in the middle. You can use frosting, or jam, or whatever you like. Put two cookies together, and there you have it, a gluten free sandwich cookie. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy, like I always say.
And one last thing: don’t be afraid to experiment. Bakin’ ain’t an exact science, especially not this gluten free stuff. So, try different things, add different flavors, see what you like. That’s the fun part, you know? Just like makin’ a quilt, you put different pieces together and you end up with somethin’ beautiful and useful.
So go on, give it a try. You might just surprise yourself with how good these gluten free sandwich cookies can be. And if they don’t turn out perfect the first time, don’t you fret. Just keep at it, and you’ll get the hang of it. Like anything else in life, it takes practice.
