Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup salted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1/3 cup molasses
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cup gluten free flour blend
- 2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
- more granulated sugar for rolling
- optional: seasonal sprinkles
White Chocolate Dip
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
Instructions
- Prepare 2 baking sheet trays lined with parchement paper.
- Using a stand mixer, place the butter and sugar in the bowl and beat on medium for 1-2 minutes or until very creamy and light in color. Scrap down the sides of the bowl.
- Add in the egg, molasses and vanilla extract. Beat for 30 seconds on medium speed.
- Pour in the gluten free flour, baking soda, sea salt and ginger. Mix until all ingredients are combine. Scrap down the sides of the bowl if needed and mix again for 2-4 seconds.
- Scoop the cookies out on to the prepared baking sheet tray.
- Add about 1/4 cup of granulated sugar to a small bowl. Roll the tops of the cookies in the sugar and place back on the baking sheet tray.
- Place the cookies in your refrigerator for 1-2 hours. When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350F.
- Bake 6-8 cookies per baking sheet tray for 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and tap on your counter top to deflate the cookies. Let them cool on the baking sheet trays for 10-20 minutes or until you are able to transfer them to a wire rack to continue to cool.
- When the cookies are all baked and cooled. Melt the white chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl – 20 seconds at a time. Stir after each heating section until the chocolate and oil are combine and smooth.
- Dip one side of the cookies in a melted white chocolate. Lay back on the wire rack for the chocolate to harder – if adding sprinkles, add a pinch of sprinkles to the wet chocolate before it hardens.
Notes
- These ginger cookies freezer very well – place them in a plastic bag. They will stay chewy and delicious just like you pulled them out of the oven. Let them thaw and enjoy.
