Description
Delicious and soft gluten-free spice cookies, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (I used Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 gluten-free flour)
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ⅓ cup crystalized ginger (chopped into small pieces)
- ½ cup coconut oil (in a liquid state)
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon flax egg
- ¼ cup molasses
- ¼ cup cane sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Whisk flaxseed with water in a small bowl to make flaxseed egg. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and sea salt). Set aside.
- Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream brown sugar and coconut oil until creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in molasses and flaxseed egg until combined.
- With the mixer on low, gradually add the flour mixture, beating just until incorporated. Add in crystalized ginger pieces and give it one last mix.
- Using hands, roll dough into 3/4-1 inch balls. Place sugar in a shallow bowl and roll each ball of dough in the sugar to coat. Transfer cookies to prepared baking sheets, spacing evenly.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until dark golden brown and puffy, rotating baking sheet halfway through baking.
- Remove from oven and use the back of a fork to press gently in the center of each cookie to make more of a flattened cookie shape.
- Let them cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- For a spicier flavor, increase the amount of ground ginger and cloves.
