So they were good? Did they crumble much in the mail? The gluten keeps the together so i had to do smaller sizes. If you have any suggestions, I am always looking to improve - RAPatton from iPhone

They were awesome! They came through the mail fine, no crumbling. They do crumble a little when you bite into them, but beyond flourless cake/quickbreads, I think all GF baked stuff does by nature. The size was great, IMO. - Alix Whitmire

Thanks for the feedback; the gluten free oatmeal blueberry one crumbled a bit to after first bite. I don't know what I can do about that, but I'll keep playing - RAPatton from iPhone

You could add more eggs, RAP, but that would definitely affect the texture. - Spidra Webster

I wonder if adding a bit of mild shredded cheese to the batter would help keep them from crumbling. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

That would change the taste and introduce concentrated casein - RAPatton from iPhone

Is casein a problem for those who have gluten issues? It's a different protein from a different source... - Spidra Webster

Many people who have issues with gluten also have trouble with casein; casein is the protien in milk, but you could go a goat cheese, which cause less issues - RAPatton from iPhone

Alix can have casein, I checked; the ones I sent her had a little - RAPatton from iPhone

Yep! Casein is okie for me. I have minor lactose issues if I go overboard, but they seem to be getting less and less the longer I'm GF. Peanut butter might help, but that'd be a different kind of cookie, then. :D I used to make (gluten) choco chip cookies with walnuts, choco chips and pb chips. I think casein is avoided in those avoiding gluten for neurological reasons vs. intestinal (celiac/GI)? - Alix Whitmire

In my experience they both can influence mental state, but casein in particular seems to amplify emotions (and also creativity) - RAPatton from iPhone

Robert's cookies are great! - Shey, Jamaican of FF

Thanks, Shey; your cookies had gluten, so they were a little different from these (different flour, cookie size, cooking time, and some xanthan gum) - RAPatton

All right, I don't normally care for cookies (except sandwich cookies) but these are great. I've eaten three of them already. - Akiva Moskovitz

I am glad you like them, Akiva. - RAPatton

Pretty much the first thing from Shawn tonight: "Can I haz a cookie?" :D - Alix Whitmire

Is he gluten free also? If he isn't tell him to go get his own ;) - RAPatton

Ha! He's not GF, but he did like them. :) - Alix Whitmire

Then I guess it is a form of support for your dietary restriction, as long as he doesn't support you to much and eat 'em all - RAPatton

I think it's more support for the yumminess of your cookies. A lot of my GF stuff he won't touch - it's either "too healthy" or "missing something... oh yeah, gluten". :D - Alix Whitmire
