Ingredients
  

  • 2 ¼ cups gluten free flour blend * see note
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder aluminum free
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ½ cup butter melted
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup molasses
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, add all dry ingredients and whisk to blend.

Notes

  1. I have tested this recipe with King Arthur Measure for Measure GF and Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 GF blend. That doesn't mean others will not work, I just have not tested other flours.
  2. Xanthan Gum - If your gluten free flour blend doesn’t contain xanthan gum or guar gum, please add 1 teaspoon
  3. To make this recipe dairy-free, substitute the butter for vegan butter.
  4. These cookies will keep for up to 4 days in an air-tight container or up to 4 months in the freezer.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
