Ayup.
There's a recipe for a quinoa cookie thing on the side of the package of quinoa flakes I have. It sounds like it would come out kind of like oatmeal cookies. I haven't tried it yet but I plan to.
some gluten-free cookies I had were also weirdly grainy.
Here's some baking info: [link]

ita, if you can tolerate spelt, I have had pretty good success in cookies and waffles with a 1-to-1 substitution of spelt flour for wheat. It is fluffier than wheat, so the texture is a little off, but not bad. It doesn't have much gluten, so bread and stuff would be more affected.
some gluten-free cookies I had were also weirdly grainy.
If by weirdly grainy you mean texture sort of sandy, then that's probably the rice flour.
I made Trader Joe's gluten-free brownies the other day (my celiac diseased sister & nephew were visiting) and they were quite tasty.
Rice flour shortbread is excellent, for the record.
Sparky! I found the program for your wedding while I was packing last night!
Tangentially, can you label yourself allergen-free? Wouldn't one just mean "so far"?
My standard response to "Do you have any allergies?" is "Not that I'm aware of."
Good lord, msbelle, those ginger snaps sounds good.
Though, keep in mind, I inadvertantly skipped my morning snack and am starved.
Ha! Went to buy coffee beans, and the guy at the register made a Rainman joke after I made a "clearly I need this coffee because counting seems to be beyond me" joke. Then he mentioned that I probably didn't know the movie because I was two when it came out.
Which, HA HA not so much, but I guess it's flattering?
