Gluten-Free Gingersnap Cookies image

I decided to squeeze in one more holiday cookie recipe before the New Year! These gluten-free gingersnaps are the best cookie I've ever made, and I might even go as far to say my new favorite cookie of all time! They are made with nut and oat flours and pack a serious flavor punch, thanks to tons of spices and fresh ginger! When I think about the perfect cookie, I think crispy outside and soft inside. These are exactly that!

Time 1h30m

Yield 25

Number Of Ingredients 18

¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup unbleached cane sugar
1 egg
¼ cup blackstrap molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup oat flour
½ cup almond flour
⅓ cup coconut flour
1 (1/4 inch thick) slice fresh ginger, grated
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ cup unbleached cane sugar, or as needed
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, or as needed
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, or as needed

Steps:

  • Beat butter, brown sugar, and 1/2 cup cane sugar together in a bowl using an electric mixer until creamy. Add egg and mix to combine. Mix in molasses and vanilla extract.
  • Mix oat flour, almond flour, coconut flour, fresh ginger, ground ginger, baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon nutmeg, and cloves together in a separate bowl. Add to butter mixture slowly and combine. Refrigerate dough for at least 1 hour, to overnight; dough will be very wet before it's chilled.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Combine 1/4 cup cane sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg in a shallow dish.
  • Scoop dough by tablespoonfuls and roll into balls. Roll balls in cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat and place onto the prepared baking sheets, making sure not to overcrowd as they will flatten and spread.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until set and golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cookies sit for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or let cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies turned out flat and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These cookies are a bit too spicy for my taste, but they're still pretty good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of ginger next time.

I love the combination of spices in these cookies. The ginger and cinnamon really shine through, and they're not too sweet.
