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 Fresh Ingredients: Always use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture in your molasses cookies.
- Soften the Butter: Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help the cookies spread and bake evenly.
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Use Quality Molasses: Choose a dark, robust molasses for the best flavor. You can also use a combination of molasses and maple syrup for a slightly sweeter cookie.
- Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the Cookies at the Right Temperature: Bake the cookies at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Let the Cookies Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
