The quest for the perfect cookie...

[MMacGillivray]

I think about your request from time to time, do a search online to see if there are any options - and then head for a bottle of something strong!

Gee whiz, Gordon - that's a difficult search.

I did find one recipe which might fit the bill - but you may do this one already ...

my diverticulosis, prevents me from eating nuts. I've created a faux peanut, roasted lentils in pnut oil, which I sometimes use in pnut butter cookies...or a brown rice fried in pnut oil, and baked dry...

I can use this recipe as a base, so thanks for your efforts...when you add in the elimination of nuts and...dairy, (IF I can)...

then the quest seems to be Quixotic. Alas, this windmill could be the siren which wrecks my ship.

Or, NUTS, foiled again ! HA!

OK, here's the next one - Potato roses - I'll just bet that you could find loads of foods to interleave between the potatoes to add different flavours

Then you can make something similar with apples ... but I'm just betting that other fruits and vegetables could be coaxed into a sweet/savoury snack like this.

The final thought for today is this blog here

http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.co...or-gluten.html

which has some interesting tips and techniques for baking with the various gluten-free flours.

So, now that I've got your kitchen into a total puddle/muddle - I'm looking forward to seeing some photos of the outcome(s)!

Have a great day, Gordon Jay

There's another recipe on the BBC website which includes an egg and some salt, but no added sugar.

Based on chick peas and carrots, it does sound lovely.

Maybe you could adjust it .... less salt .... and one egg divided between 12+ portions doesn't sound too bad. I hope, anyway!

tut, I forgot the link!

two quick questions Gordon (and all)

are you able to tolerate quinoa? have read various opinions (not on whether YOU could tolerate them but eating seeds in general with diverticulitis/losis)

and about sugar? processed sugar or no agave, pineapple juice, etc.?

on a related note, I ride the metro bus to work downtown and there is a young man that sells cookies (and sells out EVERYDAY), wrapped two together, out of a tupperware container. so he's picking up $20 -30 dollars riding bus.

I'm not a quinoa fan but do like ground flaxseed...as for Diverticulosis, it is a person to person thing, once had a doctor tell me to go ahead with Strawberries, yet, know 2 people hospitalized for taking that advice...

Gout was a real pain, but worst pain was my bout when I had to be hospitalized when the diverticulitis flared up, worse than a heart attack, being stabbed, getting my nose and other bones broken...

Diverticulitus...had me crying like a little baby who hadn't been fed in days, so I don't risk experimenting.

I use fresh fruit (small amounts) to get some sugar (sweetness) in the cookies and muffins, like blueberries, chopped raisins, and apples. Mostly apples.

We have a place called Quaker Square, where Quaker Oats used to be stored and processed, for 3 decades they had a cookie store with the best Oatmeal cookies anywhere, NOT healthy, but back then, who cared?

I once made 1000 bux at a Flea Market selling Giant Chocolate Chip cookies, so there is a big market for sweets, no doubt.

Be back later with some more info. Old Gordy got hisself busy and is fightn off the gators nipping at his rump in the swump. HA!
