The Hot Handle
A blog interspersed with occasional gluten free recipes.
Please note: If you have a family member who requires a gluten free diet, be sure to use a cast iron skillet that has never previously touched gluten....and if it has, scrub it all down completely and re-season, to be on the safe side.

Off the Handle: Cake Mix Cookies
Hubby actually moved his hot rod today!
He took it out of the garage and turned it around.
A big step to road-readiness!
Congrats, Peter! :)
Last weekend I made cookies from a Betty Crocker gluten free cake mix.
The recipe is found here.
It is super easy.
I used vanilla cake mix instead of chocolate. I added about 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of slivered almonds. As always, I used parchment paper to bake them on. My technique made two dozen cookies instead of the four listed on the recipe....I guess I made them "big." I baked them for 12 minutes.
They were very tasty, but next time I will add more chocolate chips.
They didn't brown, however, so I can see why the original recipe is with the devil's food cake mix. Regardless, it was a quick and easy way to make a GF treat!
