Yes, it's brown parchment. I buy 1,000 sheets at a time. I don't know if I told you all I am the chef (fancy word for cook) of a Christian retreat center. Here's me with my MEGA mixer!

I'll take a picture of my Snickerdoodle recipe and post it soon. What makes mine secret and sets it a part from others is that I add cinnamon right in the batter where most recipes only roll them in cinnamon sugar. It was an accident one day that turned out good! The other difference is my recipe doesn't use cream of tartar like all other recipes. It's an expensive ingredient that I replaced with a combination of baking powder and soda. My recipe is for 215 cookies! You'll have to scale it down for home.

I put cinnamon in my snicker doodles also

I agree that as a fad "diet" it is silly, but let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater and say "ONLY if you have Celiac disease."

There are other valid medical issues... My daughter, age 10, has Crohn's Disease, and also cannot tolerate gluten. For instance.

Of course, A real medical reason for it. I have not heard that Gluten was bad for Chron's Disease. I have only known one person that had it. I know of a couple with Celiac Disease. The main point is that removing Gluten helps a very small percentage of people with a diagnosed medical condition. It does not help others and can be very nutritionally dangerous--especially for children.

I am sorry about the Crohn's Disease!

This is DH's birthday cheesecake...he's really been enjoying the chocolate cookie crust and bits of red raspberry: Have to admit, I've been enjoying it a little myself, lol. [/quote Looks yummy!

Yes, the people that "fad" jumped on to it totally wasted their time and money. On the plus side it got better things on the market for people that actually need it! (And quality improved too.)

BUT...my own personal non Doctor opinion is that wheat or gluten is not the evil...hybridization is the evil and that is what has wrecked our wheat!

Wow that is serious mixer

Thanks for the recipe - will have to do some math to reduce the quantity I did surf and find one quite similar - but like the idea of mixing in the cinnamon much better

Oh, I have printed the recipe and will get my calculator out Been trying not to bake and lose a few pounds, but those cookies looked so good gotta try them

Not that I'm lazy or anything (too lazy to probably ever get around to making them, even though I'd like to), but could you post the recipe for a smaller quantity if you figure it out? Thanks.

Today it's Snickerdoodles...at secret recipe again too!

They look so tasty!
Reading the recipe making 215 cookies - that would wear me out!

Thinking about it makes me frazzled.
