Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Cookie scoop
  • Cookie sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ¼ cups gluten free flour blend * see note
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup honey * see note
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • cup powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, add your dry ingredients and whisk to blend.
  • In a small bowl, add the butter and honey and microwave for 30 seconds to melt/soften.
  • Add the rest of the wet ingredients to the butter and honey and whisk.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix.

Notes

  1. I have tested this recipe with King Arthur Measure for Measure GF, Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 GF blend, and Authentic Foods Multi Blend in this recipe. That doesn't mean others will not work, I just have not tested other flours.
  2. If your gluten free flour blend doesn't contain Xanthan Gum, add 1 teaspoon.
  3. These cookies will keep up to 4 days in an airtight container, or up to 4 months in the freezer.
  4. You do not need to use an expensive local honey to make these cookies. I use a cheaper wildflower blend, which you can get at the grocery store. Just make sure it is 100% pure honey with no additives.

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.
