These aromatic Gluten-free Ginger Cookies are easy to make and very tasty. This recipe makes about two dozen 2-inch cookies.

  • 2 1/4 cups gluten-free flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup cane syrup
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a small bowl combine flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. Set aside.

In a large bowl beat butter and sugar at medium speed until fluffy. Add egg and syrup. Beat well.

Stir flour mixture into egg mixture using a wooden or plastic spoon.

Roll dough into 1-inch balls, then roll balls in 2 tablespoons sugar.

Place balls about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake about 12 minutes or until light brown. Don’t overcook, or they will become hard.

Enjoy!

This delicious gluten-free ginger cookie recipe comes from Recipes, Remedies & Rumors from the Cades Cove Preservation Association, by way of Blind Pig and the Acorn. These gluten-free ginger cookies are simple to make, don’t take long to bake, and are gone in a flash.

  • 3/4 cup shortening
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 beaten egg
  • 1/4 cup molasses or sorghum syrup (I used sorghum)
  • 2 cups gluten-free flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon cloves
  • 1 teaspoon ginger
  • additional sugar

Cream together shortening, egg, sugar and sorghum (or molasses if using)

 

Sift together flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger.

 

Add the sifted ingredients a little bit at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.

Roll cookie dough into small round balls about the size of large marbles.

 

Roll balls in sugar and place on cookie ungreased cookie sheet.

Flatten slightly with a fork.

 

Bake 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes, or until done.

Allow to cool on pan before removing.

 

Enjoy!
