Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten Free Flour
- ¾ cup Light Brown Sugar
- ⅓ cup Molasses
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- ½ cup Butter melted
- 1 Egg
- ½ tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Baking Soda
- ½ cup Powdered Sugar
- Gingerbread Spice
Gingerbread Spice
- 1 tsp Ground Ginger
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp Nutmeg
- ⅛ tsp Allspice
- ⅛ tsp Ground Cloves
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients including; gluten free flour, salt, baking soda and gingerbread spice.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Using a stand mixer or hand mixer on medium speed combine melted butter molasses and sugar until fully combined. Add in egg and vanilla extract and fully incorporate.
- Mix Dry Ingredients Into Wet Ingredients: Set the mixer on low and add dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in small batches until a dough is formed. Scrape down sides with rubber spatula if needed.
- Form The Cookies: Once dough is formed, line a sheet pan with parchment paper and roll cookie dough into 1-1.5 inch balls. Chill in refrigerator for 2 hours.
- Preheat Oven: Cookie dough balls have chilled, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Roll Cookie Dough In Powdered Sugar: Place powdered sugar into a bowl and add cookie dough balls one by one making sure they are fully coated in sugar. If they are not fully coated, the sugar will absorb into the cookie and will not be white and crinkly. You can roll them in granulated sugar first THEN powdered sugar if you'd like a lot of powdered sugar on your cookie.
- Bake Cookies: Add cookies rolled in powdered sugar onto a parchment lined sheet pan 2 inches apart. Bake for 18-20 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove from oven and let cool for 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
✨Even though these are made with gluten free flour, feel free to make them with regular all purpose flour instead! Just swap the flour 1:1
