    There is something undeniably comforting and nostalgic about the aroma of gingerbread cookies baking in the oven. They perfume the entire house and beckon everyone to the kitchen like the Pied Piper playing his song. In the case of these gluten free gingerbread cookies, the combination of warm spices plays an enticing siren’s song luring you with the sweet fragrance of ginger, cinnamon, and cloves.

    Add spice to your life with these Gluten Free Gingerbread Cookies

    Are you team chewy, or team crunchy? The gluten free gingerbread cookies are as easy as they are versatile. Bake them on the lower end of the suggested time and you will bite into a chewier cookie. If you live for the crunch, baking them a little longer will give you that perfect crispy bite.

    Tips for the Cookie Jar

    While these cookies are easy to make and deliciously delectable to down, there are tips that will make them even better.

    Know your spices. If that jar of cinnamon has called your spice cabinet home for the past five years, toss it out. Fresh, quality spices make all of the difference in both smell and taste.

    * Always bake your cookies on either a silicone mat or parchment paper lined cookie sheet. This ensures your cookies won’t stick.

    * Use an ice cream scoop to portion out your dough. Equal sized dough equals an even cook time for each cookie.

    * Always allow your dough to chill. By chilling the dough the butter will resolidify, resulting in a better texture.

    * Don’t hold back on dipping! Whether you’re dipping these in almond milk or dairy milk, dipping is highly encouraged!

    Are you ready for your house to smell like the holidays? Then let’s bake some Gluten Free Gingerbread Cookies!

    Equipment

    • Mixing Bowl
    • Baking Sheet
    • Parchment paper

    Ingredients

    • 2 eggs large
    • ¾ cup unsalted butter dairy free
    • ½ cup white sugar
    • ½ cup brown sugar
    • 2 tsp vanilla extract
    • 2 ½ cups 1.1 gluten free flour
    • 1 tsp baking soda
    • 1 ½ tbsp ground ginger
    • 1 tsp cinnamon
    • ½ tsp ground cloves
    • ¼ cup molasses
    • 1 cup white sugar, to roll the cookies in

    Instructions

    • In a mixing bowl combine white and brown sugar and butter. Beat on medium-low until completely smooth and fluffy.
    • Add your molasses, vanilla, and eggs, and beat on low speed until just combined.
    • Add all of your dry ingredients and mix until fully combined on low speed.
    • Cover bowl in plastic wrap and allow dough to cool in the refrigerator 1-2 hours.
    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
    • Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out equal portions and roll in the sugar. Place on the cookie sheet and space them out 2”-3” apart.
    • Bake in the oven for approximately 8-12 minutes until golden brown. They will have more chew closer to the 8 minute mark and a crunchier bite at the 12 minute mark.
    • Allow to cool for a couple of minutes on the cookie sheet and then move them to a cooling rack.

    Notes

    I used dairy free butter in this recipe, but dairy butter works equally as well.
    You can use either light brown or dark brown sugar in this recipe. Dark brown sugar will give a slightly more molasses like flavor.
