Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Molasses
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer on medium speed.
Add the egg and molasses to the butter mixture and continue beating until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Use a tablespoon or a small scoop to form dough balls, about 1.5 inches in diameter.
Roll each dough ball in the granulated sugar until coated and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the cookies once fully cooled!
