Tuesday comes and with it, usually, a good bake because it is Tuesdays with Dorie. For anyone who does not have her book below, this is the best baking book, I have and I have some great ones. I use this the most, though. Besides baking with the group, I use it, as my go to book, when I am planning on baking.
I decided, my husband would enjoy this week's pick, by Michelle of Flourchild, honey wheat cookies on page 81 and also found on Michelle's blog. The only problem is that he has celiac and can have absolutely, not a speck of gluten. That is why I have my other blog, http://comfycook.wordpress.com/, which is gluten-free.
After, more than fifteen years, I have come up with my own changes to make these recipes work. I changed the recipe to use my own gluten free flour mix and I used ground nuts for the wheat germ. Not knowing what the cookie, is supposed to look for, I am curious as to how different mine is.
The most important part is that he liked these....... a lot.

I have been loving honey in baked goods lately! You are such a master of gluten free cooking, it's insane.
ReplyDeletePretty darn close I'd say! I actually thought about subbing in Kamut flour and using agave. Maybe another time!
ReplyDeleteLooks good to me!
ReplyDeleteYour cookie looks really good to me! I love nuts in/on my cookies. Fun stopping by to visit with you!

You are so good at gluten free baking. These sounds like a real treat with the nuts and the honey.
ReplyDeleteI passed this week but I'm glad you found something your hubby liked!
ReplyDeletethey look so ncie and wholesome . great job!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder he liked them so much, they look delicious! I think pecans would be even better than wheat germ. Great tweaks!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are able to change the recipes so your hubby can enjoy them. Your cookies look great.
ReplyDeleteThose look just like mine, which weren't GF. Glad your husband liked them

ReplyDeleteThank you for baking with me this week.
I cannot imagine how difficult it must be to try to convert all these recipes to gluten-free. Good job and they look delicious!
ReplyDeleteGood for you for making it work. They look great.
ReplyDeleteIt's great that you were able to make these work and that your husband liked them! They look like they turned out just as they should have.
ReplyDeleteThat looks great.
ReplyDeleteWe have be creative when we are gluten intolerant.
Great job.
How nice of you to make these gluten free and looks like they worked out great!
ReplyDeleteAdmire all that you accomplish with your two blogs and cooking things so that others can enjoy them...Kudos to you! The cookies look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYay so glad you were able to dance around this recipe and make something your hubz loved. That is so awesome. As Amanda mentioned Kamut flour is really nice and I've read folks with celiac disease are more able to tolerate it. Do ;you use it?
