Steps:
- In large bowl, beat sugar, butter and molasses with electric mixer on medium speed until well mixed, or mix with spoon. Beat in egg until blended.

Cover and refrigerate about 1 hour or until firm.
- Heat oven to 375°F. On work surface sprinkled with flour blend, roll half of dough at a time 1/8 inch thick. (Keep remaining dough refrigerated until ready to roll.) Cut with 2 1/2-inch gingerbread boy or girl cookie cutter dipped into flour blend. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet.

SOFT GINGERBREAD COOKIES (GLUTEN FREE & VEGAN)
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Cream margarine and brown sugar together in a large bowl. Add molasses and applesauce. In a separate bowl mix flours, baking soda, xanthan gum, salt, ginger and cinnamon. Add dry ingredients to wet and mix well. Scoop out tablespoonfuls of cookie dough and roll out into a ball. Dough will be rather sticky. Roll into white sugar then place on a cookie sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. Keep an eye on them. You would hate to overbake these tasty gems. Let cool at least 5 minutes on the cookie sheet before removing from sheet. The cookies will be slightly crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside.
Tips:
- Use light corn syrup instead of molasses. This will give your cookies a chewier texture and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape in the oven.
- Use a cookie scoop to drop the dough onto the baking sheet. This will help ensure that the cookies are all the same size and shape.
- Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to brown. Do not overbake the cookies, or they will become dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help prevent the cookies from breaking.
Conclusion:
These gluten-free gingerbread cookies are a delicious and festive treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be decorated with a variety of toppings, such as frosting, sprinkles, or candy. Whether you are serving them at a holiday party or just enjoying them as a snack, these cookies are sure to be a hit.
