Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil (melted)
• 0.25 cup Unsulphured molasses
• 1 whole Egg (or flax egg for vegan option)
• 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-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and melted coconut oil. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Add the molasses, egg (or flax egg), and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Whisk again until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring with a spatula or spoon until a dough forms. The dough may be slightly sticky—this is normal.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough into small balls (about 1.5 tablespoons each).

Step 7

Roll each ball in the granulated sugar to coat and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Gently press each cookie ball down slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops have small cracks.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy! Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
