Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 2 teaspoons Ground Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 115 grams Unsalted Butter
- 100 grams Brown Sugar
- 50 grams Granulated Sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 60 milliliters Molasses
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg, molasses, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each dough ball with your fingers to about 1 centimeter thick.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the centers are set.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the gluten-free ginger biscuits with your favorite tea or coffee and enjoy!
