Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, mix brown sugar, shortening, molasses and egg with spoon. Stir in remaining ingredients except granulated sugar.
  • 2
    Shape dough by rounded teaspoonfuls into 48 (1-inch) balls. Roll in granulated sugar. Place on ungreased cookie sheet 2 inches apart.
  • 3
    Bake 9 to 12 minutes or until set and cookies appear dry. Let stand 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.

  • Spray the inside of the measuring cup with gluten-free cooking spray so molasses will slide out of the cup easily.
  • Roll the cookies in coarse sugar (raw sugar) instead of granulated if you want cookies with larger flakes of sugar.
  • Make baking smoother by using two baking sheets. Bake only one tray of cookies in the oven at a time. While preparing the other tray of cookies, wait until the baking sheet is cool before placing dough on the sheet.
  • Don’t over bake these cookies. Oven times may vary, so check the cookies to see if they are done at 9 minutes and then take them out when they are just baked.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh and soft.
  • Cooking gluten free? Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is gluten free. Products and ingredient sources can change.
  • Add more delicious gluten-free cookies to your holiday cookie exchange! We love this recipe for Gluten-Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies.
