Mi-del ginger snaps
These gluten free ginger snaps by Mi-Del have been one of my favorite cookies since I started eating gluten free two and a half years ago. They are hard like regular ginger snaps, and have just the right amount of sweetness, too. I like them plain, or with some cream cheese or peanut butter on them.
Yesterday, I had a pot-luck dinner to attend, and I wanted to make a home made pumpkin pie to take to it. As I was trying to figure out what to do for the crust, I remembered that I had a bag of Mi-Del Gluten Free Ginger Snaps in the cupboard. So, I made a crumb crust using them. Everyone, even the wheat eaters at the party, raved about the pie. As a matter of fact, they ate it all up. See:

I used this recipe to make my crust, but because gluten free flours don’t absorb butter like wheat flour does, next time I would use half as much butter to make the crust.
Mi-Del Gluten Free Ginger Snaps come in an 8 oz. bag. The ingredients from the side of the bag:
Gluten free flour (corn flour, soy flour, potato flour, rice flour, corn starch, potato starch, xanthan gum); organic dehydrated cane juice; canola oil; unsulphered molasses; ginger; soy lecithin (used as an emulsifier); eggs; baking soda; sea salt; natural flavor.
There is also an allergy warning on the bag: Produced in a facility that also processes or handles wheat, milk, peanuts, and tree nuts. Mi-Del gluten free products are routinely tested using the ELISA method to ensure gluten free status as determined by the World Health Organization.
Mi-Del also makes Cinnamon Snaps, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Pecan Cookies, Arrowroot Cookies, Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, and Royal Vanilla Sandwich Cookies.
Hmm sounds yummy! xx
unfortunately I have not had good reviews with MiDel cookies. They are hard and lack flavor to me.THey taste sort of cardboardy. I wish I liked them because I see them at my store.
