Take a break during this busy holiday season with these soft and gluten-free, Ginger Molasses Cookies. They are irresistible with a warm cup of coffee or tea - unless you gift them all away this holiday season.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup salted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- ¼ cup molasses
- 1 egg
- 2 cups gluten free flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp ground cardamom
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ cup chopped up candied ginger
Instructions
- Add the butter, brown sugar and molasses to a bowl and, using an electric handheld mixer, blend them well until creamy.
- Add in the egg and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, add the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom together with a spoon.
- Then, add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix just until all ingredients are incorporated.
- Toss in the candied ginger - reserving just a few to dot the tops of the cookies with. If not using candied ginger, you can dust your cookies with a mixture of granulated sugar and a pinch of ginger and cinnamon. Chill dough for 1 hour at least or overnight.
- Then, Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F
- Scoop spoonfuls of cold dough, roll into rough balls and bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
- Let cool and enjoy.
