Ahhh...fudge puddles. Dunno. Just took some raspberry thumbprints out of the oven and they're a bit too crumbly. Another recipe to modify for our altitude and climate....

Al, you need to give me more time to catch on to your shorthand. Wink

Hi Nancy,
My version of Thumbprint cookies.

Here's one of the comments from my site..

David,
Thanks a million. My 3 1/2 yr old saw a picture of jam cookies on a box and was mad about them. He really wanted me to make them but I didn't have a clue. I haven't yet been able to make a good 'sugar cookie' batter and was at a loss until I found your blog post. (I think the American name for that cookie is Thumbprint cookie????)
We made the jam centered nutty cookies for our boys (the eldest of which is dx'd celiac-- aged 5). They absolutely loved them. I made a few changes-- used a vegetable spread instead of butter because that was all I had, omitted the maize flour completely as our son also has a corn allergy and just substituted it with a mix of potato starch, more rice flour, and a little tapioca flour. I used guar gum instead (didn't have xanthan gum). They were so fabulous-- you would never think that they were gluten free. They hold together great and are not at all crumbly-- has to be the gum, egg, and the almond meal. GREAT idea! I would have never thought to mix the egg last but I see what you mean-- the dough became a nice fine meal before the egg was added. I will definitely make these again. I will post the altered recipe to my blog and give a link to your original one! Thanks!

OMG, Colleen, I'm drooling just looking at the picture. Definitely have to pick up some brown rice flour so that I can give these a try. What do you suggest I try as an egg replacer and THANKS SO MUCH!!!


If it were me, I would use the flax eggs as a replacement. Ener-g really is only good as a leavener, and in this recipe, the eggs act as a binder.

I look forward to hearing about your wrap success soon. Smile

Ok, Colleen, I'll try the flax but I probably won't get around to trying these for a while. Crazy schedule this week.

Colleen, they turned out GREAT!!! Laughing




This is the first thing even resembling a real sandwich I've had in 5 months!!! DH (who's NGF) even said they were fantastic. Can't wait to try them again adding some herbs to the batter. Will also be trying all the other recipes y'all have been kind enough to send my way.

Thanks, again. (((hugs)))

Hey Nancy - those look great! I just got done eating, but I could go for one of those. Smile

Thanks for the update.
