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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Add the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Step 6
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in the granulated sugar until fully coated.
Step 7
Place the sugared dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Enjoy your delicious, gluten-free ginger molasses cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
