choco chip cookie recipe

Someone my hubby recently spoke to has a child who's allergic to eggs, soy, animal milk, wheat, oats, rye and barley and wants to make them chocolate chip cookies. Any ideas for recipes that she can make or what she can use for substitutions for any ingredients? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! Jenn. W.

I would recommend that the family ask the MD who diagnosed the allergies to give them a referral to Registered Dietitian. With all these food allergies, they need some professional help. The dietitian should be able to point them to appropriate recipe sources. I think this is more a medical issue than a baking issue.

Here are two recipes. They're from the GFCFRecipes Yahoo Group. You might want to suggest to your friend that she subscribe to the above Yahoo group and also the Yahoo group, POFAK (Parents Of Food Allergic Kids). Recipe #1: Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 1/4 c Bette Hagman flour blend*
  • (2 parts white rice flour, 2/3 part potato starch, 1/3 part tapioca starch)
2 T flax seed powder 2 1/2 t xanthan gum 1 t baking soda 1/2 t salt 1 c margarine (Spectrum and Mother's both make soy/dairy free margarines) 1 c brown sugar 1/2 c granulated sugar 2 eggs (Use egg substitute to equal 2 eggs. Ener-G brand is egg/soy-free.) 1 1/2 t vanilla 12 oz. chocolate chips (May have to look around for these. Check Trader Joe's, Miss Roben's or Ener-G.)

Mix the first 5 ingredients and set aside. Blend margarine till soft with electric mixer, then add each of the remaining ingredients (except chocolate chips) mixing between each addition. Use a wooden spoon to mix dry ingredients with wet ingredients, then chill for an hour in the fridge. I usually drop onto a cookie sheet using a 1/2 teaspoon, so they come out bite-sized. Then I place two chocolate chips on the top of each cookie. Bake in a 350 oven for 7 minutes for soft cookies, and a minute or two longer for crunchy cookies.

Recipe #2: GFCFSFEF Chocolate Chip Cookies

1/2 cup Spectrum Naturals Organic Shortening (100% organic pressed palm oil) 1/2 cup safflower oil (substituted for margarine) 1/2 cup maple sugar 1 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 eggs (you can use your egg substitute) 1 tsp GF vanilla 2 1/2 cups Bette Hagman's flour blend (See recipe above for mixture) 1 tsp xanthan gum 1 cup chocolate chips (See recipe above for tips) Bake at 375 degrees F. for 9-11 minutes. I think the next time I make them I will add some pureed pears to moisten them up - especially if you use an egg substitute.

Hope these help. Angel

(Please NOTE: My correct e-mail address is in my Signature) On Thu, 23 Oct 2003 14:24:59 -0400, during the rec.food.baking Community News Flash "Jenn" reported:

Be very careful with the chocolate chips as well. You'll need one that doesn't have soy lecithin. If you know of a Jewish neighborhood in your area that has a very Kosher shop, they might have chocolate bars that are Kosher for Passover which doesn't have lecithin in it. This is because most Jews of East European origins aren't allowed to have soy products on Passover. Ask the shop owner or tell him you need chocolate that has no licethin which is a legume by-product. Items might say "contains no legumes" as well.

Finally, I found that Michel Cluizel has a chocolate bar that contains only Cocoas, cane sugar and Bourbon vanilla pod - that's it, nothing else! Its called "Ilha Toma" and its one of his Chocolate Amer bars that's 65% cocoa solids. Chop that up into the recipe you got and you may just have found your answer!

You can get Cluizel chocolates on

and a five barpack costs $5.75. (Good luck.)

Thanks everyone! I'll forward all of this on to my hubby, who can forward it all on to this person at work. Apparently, he talks about my going to culinary school at the local college, and I'm in primarily baking classes, (and he's always taking "samples" of my stuff to work!) so I often get questions because I should just know everything! I thought helping out a kid get some chocolate chip cookies was a good cause, though! Jenn. W.
