Gluten Free Ginger Molasses Cookies
This gluten free ginger molasses cookies recipe is a quick and simple way to make delicious, gluten free cookies to celebrate the holiday!
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter softened
- 1/2 cup organic sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 tbsp plus 1 tsp molasses
- 1 1/2 cup almond flour
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ginger
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp cardamom
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Combine butter and sugar together in a bowl. Use mixer to cream together. Add egg, vanilla extract, and molasses and mix until smooth.
- Mix in almond flour, coconut flour, salt, spices, and baking soda. Stir together until smooth batter forms.
- Separate batter into equal pieces and roll into balls — I usually get about 18-22 cookies. If dough seems too sticky, refrigerate for about 30 minutes. (I pretty much always do this!)
- In a small bowl, place some organic or raw sugar. Roll each dough ball in sugar (and/or sprinkles!) and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Use the bottom of a glass (or a flat surface) to slightly flatten cookies.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 12-16 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on cooling rack. Do not over bake as cookies will harden slightly while cooling.
- Cookies will have a slightly crunchy outside and soft center. Once placed in an airtight container, the cookies will be predominantly soft and chewy.
