I have a co-worker who's allergic to flour. I'm making cookies for gifts and I want to give her something. So far I have flourless peanut butter cookies. I would like to include something else. I tried meringues this morning, but I didn't like the overall taste of them. I could give her a box of flourless pb cookies and some candy I'm making for my mother, but i would like to give her more.
Any ideas?
Is there a flourless chocolate chip cookie?
Or how bout a recipe for cookies using soy flour? I don't think she's allergic to that.
I found this on the web. Don't know how they are.

If she's not allergic to nuts and likes chocolate you might want to try these.
Chocolate Sparkle Cookies
1/2 lb Bittersweet or semisweet chocolate
3 Tablespoons butter, room temperature
2 Eggs
1/3 c Sugar, plus more for rolling
3/4 c Ground almonds
Powdered sugar, for garnish
Preparation
1. Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler set over, but not touching, simmering water. Remove from the heat. Cut the butter into a few pieces and mix into the chocolate until melted.
2. Beat the eggs with an electric mixer, gradually adding the sugar until ribbons form, 5 to 10 minutes. Fold in the chocolate-butter mixture. Gently add the ground almonds. cover and refrigerate overnight.
3. Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. Use a cookie scoop to form the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll the balls in granulated sugar, place on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart and immediately place in the oven.
5. Bake until the center of the cookies is no longer wet, 9 to 12 minutes. When slightly cool, lightly dust the cookies with powdered sugar.
Cook's Notes
The trick to these soft, truffle-like cookies is in the beating--beat the eggs and sugar until ribbons form, meaning that when the beaters are lifted, the batter falls back onto itself in ribbons. This could take up to 10 minutes of beating. You can grind raw almonds in a food processor or blender. These are best with chocolate that is 70% cocoa.
Makes about 36 cookies.
Hi,
I have a niece who has celiac (allergy to flour/gluten) and have made a few different kinds of cookies for her. She likes peanut butter bon bons, I also have a recipe that is like a date ball rolled in coconut that also has walnuts and Rice Krispies in them. I also have done the Rice Krispie treats with chocolate over them. Rice Krispies seem to agree with "some" celiac people. Send me a note if you would like any of my recipes. There also are some nice wen sites for celiac allergy recipes you might try. Good luck!
