HELP ME >>> I AM MAKING COOKIES. I NEED to know what the heck I have to add to the 365 glutne free all purpose baking mix whole foods brand .
HELP ME I AM IN NEED .. do I add baking soda and treat this like regular flour... or do I have to get out the xanthum gum.. the box says no .. but I am tired of the palmelas cookie disaster... I realize I am not alone. But I am tired of wasting money on food that is crappy. HELP ME [/size]

I add what the recipe calls for but whenever I use gluten-free flour I add the appropriate amount of xantham gum/guar gum depending on the recipe...

For each cup of gluten-free flour add:

breads: 1 heaping teaspoon
cakes: 1/2 teaspoon
cookies: 1/4 teaspoon
muffins: 3/4 teaspoon
pizza: 2 teaspoons

What are the ingredients in the mix? If there is already baking soda, baking powder and/or xanthan gum in it, then you probably do not need to add more of those things.

well what they are saying is that you treat this like flour.. so if you add xanthum gum to regular flour.... you wouldnt... so I am going to treat it like flour... it says on the box to go ahead but .. I am tired of wasting money on products.

I don't think you wasted your money. All of the 365 gluten-free products I've tried have been very good. Just follow the directions on the box and I'm sure it will work out.

OKAY I DID WHAT YOU SAID AND you were RIGHT! I added nothing but baking soda. and I have normal good looking cookies. I am impressed.... I will not buy pamelas mix for cookies ever again. Using the 365 baking mix really worked. I am really happy.

Phew! Glad I was right and it worked!
