RECIPE: GLUTEN FREE GINGERBREAD COOKIES

*HAPPY HOLIDAYS*

My friend Lisa and I found this amazing gingerbread recipe made with spelt flour from a blog called 101 Cookbooks triple ginger cookies

We made a few adjustments to the recipe... here's what we used:

INGREDIENTS

2 cups spelt flour

1 teaspoons baking soda

4 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt

1 stick (1/2 cup) earth balance butter, room temperature

1/4 cup unsulphured molasses 

2/3 cup cane sugar

1 1/2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and grated (or use ground again)

1 large egg

Ginger Puff cookie shape From 101 Cookbooks

STEPS:

1) Preheat oven to 350.

2) In a large bowl mix the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, and salt together.

3) In a large skillet on med-low heat, mix the butter until it's slightly melted. Add the molasses, cane sugar, and fresh/ground ginger. Whisk in the egg. Then pour the warm liquid over the flour mixture.

4) Roll out flat and make cookie cutter shapes. Then, bake for 7-10 minutes or until cookies puff up and darken a bit.
