Craving Sweets? Heres the Scoop on East Hampton Star Gluten Free Cookies Everyone is Talking About!

Okay, so I saw this thing the other day about gluten-free cookies from the East Hampton Star and it got me thinking, “Why not give it a shot?” I mean, I’ve been trying to eat a bit healthier, and cutting down on gluten seemed like a good idea. Plus, I have a massive sweet tooth, so cookies are always on my mind.

So, I went to this cute little market in Amagansett. It’s the kind of place that has everything, you know? Fresh veggies, iced coffee, you name it. I was browsing around, and then I saw them – homemade gluten-free brownies at the cafe! I grabbed one, and let me tell you, it was pretty darn good. It got me even more excited to try making some cookies.

Then, I remembered hearing about this other place called Carissa’s. Apparently, it’s a completely gluten-free bakery! They have things like flour-less donuts and, of course, cookies. I made a mental note to check that out sometime. Sounds like a dream, right?

Now, I did a little digging about gluten-free stuff online. I found out that the reason these things are said to be healthier is just because they don’t have gluten. Which makes sense, I guess, since a lot of folks have issues with gluten. But here’s the kicker – to make up for the lack of gluten, they sometimes add more sugar! Sneaky, right? It’s all about keeping the cookies from falling apart, I suppose.

Armed with this newfound knowledge, I decided to actually try baking some cookies. This might sound a bit ambitious, since I’m not much of a baker, but how hard could it be? Here’s how I did it:

  • First, I gathered all my ingredients. I used a basic gluten-free flour blend, some sugar (maybe a bit too much, oops), butter, eggs, and a few other things like vanilla and baking soda.
  • Then, I creamed together the butter and sugar. I used an electric mixer, ’cause who has time to do that by hand?
  • Next, I beat in the eggs one at a time, then stirred in the vanilla. Pretty standard cookie stuff so far.
  • After that, in a separate bowl, I whisked together the flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Then, I gradually added the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until it was just combined.
  • Finally, I dropped spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet and popped them in the oven. I baked them for about 10-12 minutes, until they were golden brown around the edges.

And guess what? They turned out pretty good! They were a little crumbly, but hey, that’s to be expected with gluten-free stuff. They were sweet and satisfying, and I didn’t feel too guilty eating them, knowing they were at least a little bit healthier. I might try adding some chocolate chips next time. I mean, why not, right? Overall, it was a fun little experiment, and I’m definitely going to keep exploring the world of gluten-free baking. Maybe I’ll even become a pro at it one day! Who knows?

Conclusion

In the end, this whole gluten-free cookie adventure taught me a few things. One, it’s not as scary as it seems. Two, you can definitely make tasty treats without gluten. And three, it’s always fun to try new things in the kitchen, even if you’re not a pro baker. Also I found a nice store recently when I traveled to East Hampton, I will come back and share it next time. So, if you’re thinking about giving gluten-free baking a shot, I say go for it! You might surprise yourself.
