Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup shortening
  • 1 cup sugar +more for rolling
  • 1/2 cup molasses (I like blackstrap molasses)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 cups Gluten Free Flour Blend*
  • 1/2 tsp cloves
  • 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375 5°F
  2. Melt shortening in a small pan, just until melted over low heat. Remove from heat, allowed to cool for a few minutes.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the shortening (after cooled to the touch, but still liquefied), sugar, molasses and egg. Mix well.
  4. Add the dry ingredients and mix well. Chill.
  5. After the dough has chilled, form into balls. Roll balls in sugar and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 8 minutes. Cool for a few minutes on pan before transferring to a cooling rack. Makes about two dozen cookies.
