If I wanted cooking tips, where else would I go besides The Womens forum? ;-) I'm just kidding. I'm actually posting this in here because it seems to me that women tend to have more food allergy/issues than men so I wanted to post somewhere where there is a lot of knowledgeable people.
I've found a great chewy gluten free chocolate chip recipe. I tried experimenting with it last week and here is what I did. In that recipe, I replaced the 8oz of butter with 6oz of unsweetened applesauce and 2oz of refined coconut oil. Then, I replaced the 2tbl of whole milk with goat milk. For the chocolate chips, I replaced them with dark chocolate (60% cacao) chips. By doing these substitutions, I was trying to make these gluten free cookies into gluten, lactose, soy free cookies. Well, the dark chocolate chips has a little bit of milk fat and soy lechtin so I wasn't completely successful.
I made these experimental cookies on Thursday night and here is how they turned out. I made the GLSF first and then the GF cookies afterwards. I did this to notice the differences in the recipe substitutions. Immediately, I noticed that the batter for the GLSF was smoother than the GF cookies. I actually noticed this after I mixed the butter and the sugar so I'm assuming that my applesauce/coconut oil mixture substitution is the main cause of the differences. They mixture was a lot stickier than the GF mixture. Also, the cookies tend to come out pretty smooth I guess. The GF cookies had a really good texture and were lumpy and looked like cookies. The GLSF cookies didn't have as much texture on the surface and looked very smooth. Also, they tended to stick together when I put them in the container. However, they definitely were not hockey pucks which is what most people think of when you tell them that you made gluten, lactose, and soy free cookies.
My question is what kind of other substitutions can I try next time that better replicate what the butter did to the original GF recipe?
