Gluten Free Gingerbread Cookies
1 cup (salted) butter, softened
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup molasses
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 1/4 tsp xanthan gum (find it at your local health food store)
2 1/2 cups brown rice flour
Decorative sugar
Pre heat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix the soda, xanthan gum, and flour in a separate bowl.
In my Kitchen Aid, I cream the butter and sugar. Add the eggs one at a time. Mix in the vanilla, spices, and molasses.
Add in your dry ingredients. Your dough will not be quite as stiff as a regular cookie dough.
Using a medium sized cookie scoop (drop by the teaspoon), scoop cookie dough onto a parchment lined cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle with decorative sugar.
Bake for 8-11 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown. I leave my "gluten free" cookies on the cookie sheet for about 5 mins to let them set before moving them to a wire rack to cool.
