Ingredients
Making a batch of gluten-free gingerbread cookies is easier than ever with this simple cookie mix. All you need is a few basic ingredients that you may already have in your pantry. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 cups of gluten-free flour blend
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup applesauce
These ingredients make enough for about two dozen cookies, so you can double or triple the recipe to make more if needed.
Instructions
To make the cookie mix, start by sifting the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt together in a large bowl. Once the dry ingredients are combined, add the brown sugar and mix until it is evenly distributed. Next, add the molasses, oil, and applesauce and stir until everything is thoroughly mixed.
Once the cookie mix is ready, preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and scoop the cookie mix onto the sheet in 1-tablespoon mounds, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Let the cookies cool completely before serving.
