Wheat Free Soft And Spicy Molasses Cookies Recipes

SPICY MOLASSES COOKIES

Steps:

• With an oven rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Pour 1 tablespoon of raw sugar into a small, shallow dish for rolling.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours, baking soda and salt.
• In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the cinnamon, ginger, cloves, allspice and pepper. Cook until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes.
• Transfer the butter mixture to a large bowl and let cool slightly.
• Whisk the remaining 3 tablespoons raw sugar, brown sugar, egg yolk, vanilla and molasses into the melted butter mixture. Stir in the flour mixture until combined.
• Use a cookie dough scoop or spoons to scoop out about one tablespoon of dough at a time. Lightly shape into a ball and dunk half the cookie into the small bowl of raw sugar. Place each cookie on the baking sheet, sugar side up, leaving a couple of inches around each cookie.
• Bake the cookies until the edges are set but the centers are still soft, puffy and underdone, which will take 9 to 12 minutes.
• Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for ten minutes, then serve warm or transfer to a cooling rack.

GLUTEN-FREE SOFT MOLASSES COOKIES

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.
