Time 2h30m

Yield 60 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup dark molasses
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups chestnut flour
1/2 cup arrowroot
1 cup brown rice flour
1 1/2 cups sorghum flour
3 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons ginger
1/2 teaspoon clove
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Steps:

  • Cream butter with brown sugar until smooth.
  • Stir in egg and salt.
  • Add molasses and buttermilk, stir.
  • Sift together flours, baking soda, and spices. I strongly recommend sifting because chestnut flour can be a little lumpy. Note: the ratios of the four flours I used can be adjusted to your taste. Brown rice and sorghum flours are whole-grainy and do make the cookies a little less soft, while chestnut flour has a strong taste of its own. Play with the ratios to change the texture.
  • Add about 3 cups of the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix in (you can use an electric mixer) until smooth.
  • Add the remaining flour, the dough should be stiff enough that you'll probably have to stir this in by hand.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Roll dough out on a floured board to about 1/4" thickness.
  • Cut circles or shapes. This dough makes good gingerbread men.
  • Bake 15 minutes at 375.
  • Cool. Frost with a soft cream cheese frosting if desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your cookies. Look for organic, unrefined molasses and gluten-free flour that is specifically formulated for baking.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much. If you're short on time, you can chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, but longer is better.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. This will help them develop a crispy exterior and a chewy interior. Bake the cookies at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying them. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cookies to firm up.

Conclusion:

These gluten-free molasses cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that everyone will enjoy. They're perfect for a snack, dessert, or a holiday party. With their chewy texture, rich molasses flavor, and hints of spice, these cookies are sure to be a hit. So next time you're craving a sweet treat, give these gluten-free molasses cookies a try. You won't be disappointed.
