Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups gluten free flour blend * see note

  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For the Coating:

  • In a bowl, add your dry ingredients and whisk to blend them together.
  • In a smaller bowl, add your wet ingredients and whisk to blend them together.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix them together.
  • Put the dough on a piece of plastic wrap and wrap up the dough. Chill in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes.

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 gluten free gingerbread melting moments cookies are easy to store. Place them into an air-tight container. They will keep fresh for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them in a freezer-safe zipper bag
To measure your gluten free flour: 
  • I recommend using the spoon method or leveling method. In a perfect world, people weigh their flour, but most do not own a kitchen scale.
  • Put the measuring scoop into the flour and fill. Do not pack the flour. Use a knife to scrape along the top to remove the extra flour.
  • Use a spoon to fill the measuring cup. Use a knife to level along the top to remove the extra flour.

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.
