Home made Gluten free cookies with afternoon tea 😊

Hi everyone,

Here's some cookies I made earlier this afternoon, to make them more nutritional I used ground linseeds ground almonds and plain gf flour and some currants as cookies with currants are really good and the photo shows the texture.

I made some gf bread at the same time and ground some pumpkin seeds with the linseeds and thats given it a smashing colour.

I hope you're having a good weekend 😊

Hi Hidden

Those cookies look really scrumptious! I agree that Cookies with Currants are a great idea! Lovely texture too - they look like they would melt in the mouth.

Hi again Hidden

I have a friend who would appreciate some of those Gluten-free cookies, so I was wondering if you could share the exact recipe for them, so I can try to do them - and surprise her with a gift. As well as an opportunity to sample one or two myself - I feel sure my hubby would also like to sample one!

Hi Zest,

Here it is:

55g ground almonds 55g ground golden linseed 220g plain GF flour 250g goats butter 100g coconut sugar 2 free range eggs 75g currants.

Whiz it into a dough and spread it a baking tray and bake 160C for about 30 mins until golden sometimes I cooked them in a muffin tray and they bake quicker but I like slices the best.

I find goats butter is easier to digest and it has a lower melting pot so makes biscuits shorter so is worth trying.

I think thats a really nice thing to do make some biscuits for a friend so good for you and thanks for asking me. 😊

[Zest in reply to Hidden]

Thanks very much Hidden - I hope to do them sometime next week, all being well - and I'll let you know how they turn out, and also what my friend thinks - I think she'll be very happy. So will I, as I am looking forward to trying one.

Wow, Hidden ! The cookies and tea look really wonderful! The cookies would make a great snack on the go-- or a present for a party.

Thanks Leah, I appreciate that 😀

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to Hidden]

I'm being honest!

[Hidden in reply to Activity2004]

I know that it was a lovely compliment. 😀

Wow Jerry! They look great!

I wish I had more success with biscuits and coookies.

The last time I tried making some the recipe said they were 'Melting Moments'. Mine were more like 'Chewy Half Hours' 🙁

Even the feathered dustbins in the garden wouldn't eat them and they're not usually fussy.🙄

Yours look so tasty though.🤤 Maybe I will give it another go and dig out the neglected cookie cutters...

[Hidden in reply to Bong1968]

Hey thanks Bong and we've all had our disasters so I'd definitely have another go,

Your comment about the birds made me smile...😀
