Guest guest Posted November 27, 2001 Report Share Posted November 27, 2001 To f, To my rescue again....LOL The thumbprint cookies are the ones you can buy in the bakery that have a bit of frosting in the middle of the cookie and sprinkles around the edges. Some people put a hershey kiss in the middle. The flour is the only thing I need help with. The rice flour just didn't taste quite right. So I wondered if there is another GF flour that is better for cookie baking. Many Thanks, Rhonda in CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2001 Report Share Posted November 27, 2001 Is there a brand name for the better sorghum flour? I've never used it either. Is Bob's Red mill ok? Thanks, Rhonda in CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 27, 2001 Report Share Posted November 27, 2001 Here's the recipe before GFCF conversions. Hope you like it. Thumbprint Cookies 1/4 c packed brown sugar 1/4 c shortening 1/4c margarine, softened 1 egg, separated 1/2 tsp. vanilla 1 c flour 1/4 tsp salt 3/4 c finely chopped nuts. Jelly for the centers, or I use frosting or Hershey's kiss Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix brown sugar, shortening, margarine, egg yolk and vanilla. Mix in flour and salt until dough holds together. Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Beat egg white slightly. Dip each ball into egg white; roll in nuts. Place about 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Press thumb deeply into center of each. Bake until light brown, 8 to 9 minutes. Imediately remove from cookie sheet and cool. Fill thumbprint with jelly, frosting or Hershey Kiss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 27, 2001 Report Share Posted November 27, 2001 -Rhonda-did you use sweet rice flour or just plain rice flour? I don't like any cookies without sw rice flour. My daughter loves those cookies too with pepermint frosting in the middle-I already bought the candycanes to crush Kathy -- In GFCFKids@y..., Rhons44@c... wrote: > To f, > To my rescue again....LOL > The thumbprint cookies are the ones you can buy in the bakery that have a bit > of frosting in the middle of the cookie and sprinkles around the edges.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2001 Report Share Posted November 28, 2001 I don't know if the Hershey Kisses are gfcf or not. I haven't made these cookies yet, but will check on the status of the kisses before I use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
