Hi Mary–I’m not totally sure as I’ve never used it for this recipe or anything before. Is palm shortening oil? If so, I think you could make a bar version of these cookies with it as I have previously with melted butter. However, I’m not sure if it will produce a cookie. This recipe already produces a very flat cookie that tends to spread too quickly if one is not careful. If you do some experimenting, please let us know.

Hi Shirley,

Do you think palm shortening would work in place of the butter? We are dairy-free.

thanks,
Mary

Oh, Edie, thank goodness! LOL I’m so relieved … and thrilled!

Incidentally, I’ve been loving your FLS articles of late … jet ski outing, bathing suit shopping, concert outing, and that one of the iPhone apps we really need … priceless! And, welcome to gfe officially! Hope you and your stepson will find lots more great gfe recipes to make together using my Recipes tab under my header.

Hi Edie–They are very thin cookies and they should taste very buttery and chewy. Lately I’ve been starting out at 375 degrees for a couple of minutes and then lowering to 350 degrees for the rest. They will puff up and spread out. But, key questions … are you using my gf flour mix? I’m sorry, but this recipe will not work with Bob’s all-purpose flour mix (or similar). Did you use 2 cups of flour? You can try adding a tad more flour, mixing the flour first before adding. (I always mix my flour before measuring it. Makes a big difference.) I hope that helps! If they don’t work out, I’ll make some and bring to you for him to try. Fingers crossed though …

Ha! OK, I’m officially an idiot. Call off the crisis squad. I forgot to add the corn starch! I added it in, and now the cookies look great! Thanks for a great recipe!

Help! Shirley, I’m making these cookies with my stepson (he has celiac), but they’re waaaayyyy too thin. They don’t look anything like the ones in your pictures, and they taste more like molasses candy than cookies because they’re so thin. I’m cooking them at 375 degrees for 8 minutes directly on a greased cookie sheet. Should I lower the temp? Or the cooking time? Or both?
