Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup Molasses
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar for rolling
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. You can use a hand mixer or stand mixer for this step.
Add the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in the granulated sugar until fully coated.
Place the sugared dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are slightly cracked on top. Do not overbake; they should remain soft and chewy.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your delicious, gluten-free ginger molasses cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
