These gluten-free gingerbread cookies are like a soft and chewy version of a gingersnap cookie.
Ingredients
- ½ cup vegetable shortening, I use Spectrum Organic all-vegetable shortening
- ½ cup butter, softened (1 stick or 8 tablespoons)
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup molasses
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 4 cups good quality all-purpose gluten-free flour blend, 18 ounces by weight
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 ¼ teaspoons baking soda
- 2 ¼ teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cloves
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 4 ounces white chocolate bar or white chocolate/vanilla chips
- Additional ¼ to ⅓ cup sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Using a stand or hand mixer, cream shortening, butter, brown sugar and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in molasses and eggs.
- Gradually add rest of ingredients, except white chocolate, beating on low until well mixed.
- Using a spatula, stir in the white chocolate chunks or chips just until evenly distributed.
- Cover dough in bowl and place in refrigerator for at least one hour or up to 48 hours.
- When ready to bake, use a medium cookie scoop or ice cream scoop to help you roll dough into balls. Roll balls in the additional ¼ cup sugar (I usually place this in a small bowl).
- If dough is sticky and difficult to roll, chill longer.
- Place dough balls on parchment paper lined cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake at 350° for 11 minutes. Let cool a few minutes on the cookie sheet, then transfer cookies to cooling rack to cool.
Notes
Recipe has been tested with gfJules flour and Pamela's flour which have gums added already. Please see blog post for more information on ingredients and substitutions.
If the gluten-free flour blend you are using does NOT contain xanthan gum or guar gum, then add 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of xanthan or guar gum to this recipe.
Once cool, you can stack in an airtight container or cookie jar and enjoy!
