Ingredients
3/4cup buttersoftened
1cup sugar+ more for rolling
1large egg*
1/4cup blackstrap molasses
2 1/4cup all-purpose gluten-free flour blend
2teaspoonsground Ginger
1teaspoon ground cinnamon
1teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4teaspoon salt
2teaspoons baking powder
Instructions
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and frothy.
Beat in the egg and the blackstrap molasses with the butter-sugar mixture until combined.
In another bowl, whisk the gluten-free flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and baking powder together.
Sift the gluten-free flour mixture into the bowl with the wet ingredients, and mix well with a wooden spoon until you get a uniform cookie dough.
Place the dough in the refrigerator to chill for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll or scoop the chilled dough into small balls about 11/2 inches in diameter. Roll the balls in sugar and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches of space between each.
Place the baking sheet on the middle rack of the oven, and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the cookies are lightly browned and puffy.
Transfer the cookies from the parchment paper to a cooling rack as soon they come out of the oven, so they don’t stick to the parchment.
Cool completely before storing in airtight containers or serving.
