I adapted this recipe to be gluten free with a little less sugar. They were pretty good.
2 cups gluten free flour – I used 1 cup Bob’s Red Mill gluten free 1 to 1 Baking flour, 3/4 cup Bob’s Red Mill gluten free All purpose flour, 1/4 cup gluten free oatmeal
1 tablespoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup shortening – I used 1/2 cup butter instead
1/2 cup sugar – I used 100% cane sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup dark molasses
2 1/2 tbs sugar
2 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Combine flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat shortening and sugar until creamy. Add egg and molasses. Add the flour mixture and mix. Combine the last two ingredients in a separate bowl.
Use a tablespoon to scoop the dough into balls and roll into the cinnamon sugar. Place on a baking sheet.
Bake for 8 – 10 minutes.
This recipe made about 46 cookies using a 1/2 TBS scoop.
