OH BOY!

Have I got the most sinfully delicious cookie recipe for you! These are so tasty that it takes a ton of will power to only eat a few. And for all you gluten intolerant peeps, this recipe is gluten-free and still just as enticing as if you used all purpose flour!

Is your mouth watering yet?

Mine is! All that delicious chewy ginger goodness in each bite -yum!

These gluten-free ginger molasses cookies along with my sour cream cookies, are my go-to for savory treats to give friends and family around the holidays. And I’ll be honest with you, when I bake gluten-free cookies, I rarely give them away for fear others won’t enjoy them. But not these! My husband is my official taste tester. He even said that these are definitely good enough to share, even with gluten-free flour and organic sugar. 😉

I love this recipe because I can easily double the batch and freeze half of the dough. So whenever I have a hankering for these delectable cookies, I simply place the premade frozen balls on a cookie sheet (no need to thaw!), bake as normal and voilà!

A fresh, right out of the oven, warm batch of ginger molasses cookies.

Now I just need my fuzzy socks and a cup of egg nog.

2 1/4 cup gluten-free flour

Notes

The dough freezes well! So you can make a batch following the recipe up until the dough balls are coated in sugar and then place the balls on a cookie sheet in the freezer for a few minutes. Once firm, place the balls in a freezer bag.

Whenever you want a fresh batch of ginger molasses cookies, just pull these out of the freezer and cook as usual.
