Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! I am not a huge cookie person, but using cookie cutters is just too fun to resist- they always come out so professional looking. I like my cookies spicy and sweet, so I put tons of ginger in this recipe. Enjoy these flavorful cookies with a nice cold glass of rice milk!
- 3 and 3/4 cups of gluten free flour
- 1 tsp of xanthan gum
- 1 tsp of baking soda
- 1 tsp of salt
- 4 tablespoons of ground ginger
- 4 tablespoon of cinnamin
- 4 tsps of nutmeg
- 4 tsps of ground clove
- 1 cup of Earth Balance
- 1 cup of maple syrup
- 2 tsp of vanilla extract
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- In a large bowl mix together all the dry ingredients (flour, xanthan, baking soda, salt and spices)
- Using a mixer, or your own two hands, mix in the Earth Balance and maple syrup, egg and vanilla until it becomes integrated into a soft dough.
- Roll dough into a ball and wrap in saran wrap and put in the freezer for 1-2 hours.
- Take chilled dough out of the freezer and roll out onto a floured surface until it's about 1/4 of an inch thick or less.
- Use cookie cutters to make fun holiday shaped cookies.
- Bake cookies in the oven for 20 minutes or so, until golden.
- Put out a plate for Santa and hope for some good gifts!
