These Gluten Free Molasses Crinkle Cookies are soft, chewy and sure to be your new favorite holiday cookie!

Every holiday season I love to bake traditional Christmas cookies for my family, with a few gluten free versions thrown in, as well. If you haven't yet, below are some of my favorite gluten free cookie recipes:

• Gluten Free & Dairy Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
• Flourless Mexican Hot Chocolate Cookies
• Almond Flour Chocolate Peppermint Cookies
• Gluten Free Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
• Gluten Free Pecan Sandies
• Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Chai Cookies

This year I wanted to add a new recipe to the group. These Gluten Free Molasses Crinkle Cookies are one of those recipes that I wish I had tried earlier.

WHAT INGREDIENTS DO I NEED?

• 2 cups gluten free flour (I have tried a few different ones. These all have worked well with the recipe. King Arthur: Measure for Measure. Krusteaz and Bobs Red Mill 1 to 1.)
• ⅔ light brown sugar
• ⅓ cup molasses
• ½ cup butter melted
• 1 egg
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon cloves

HOW DO I MAKE GLUTEN FREE MOLASSES CRINKLE COOKIES?

In a large bowl, combine light brown sugar, molasses, butter and egg. Mix well.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, salt, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.

Slowly add the dry ingredients to your wet mixture. Continue to mix until you have a smooth batter. Roll the batter into small balls and place in your refrigerator for 30-45 minutes, to set.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove cookie dough balls and roll in powdered sugar. Place on a large baking sheet. Bake for approximately 15 minutes. Remove and let cool on a wire cookie rack.
