Re:Need Gingerbread Cookie Recipe

[Guest guest]

Found this in the gfcf recipes, but I've never tried it.

Gingerbread Cookies (GF, CF, EF) These are a bit harder to work with than

regular wheat ones, but with some patience make a great cookie that you

wouldn't know " from the real thing. " I use a reusable, silicone coated,

parchment paper to both roll out the dough on and to line my cookie sheets.

It is like SilPats, but much thinner and can be cut to fit any pan. Nothing

sticks to it. I use a thin, flat bowl scraper to gently lift the cookies to

the sheet or just roll out on the parchment, remove the excess, and

transfer the entire paper on the baking sheet. Kathy

GF Gingerbread Cookies

3/4 c margarine

1/4 c dark molasses

1 c light brown sugar

3 c gf flour mix*

1 tsp xantham gum

1 tsp salt

1 Tbsp baking powder

2 tsp ground ginger

1/4 tsp ground cloves

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/8 tsp ground nutmeg

1/2 c water

sweet rice flour for rolling

Cream margarine and sugar. Beat in molasses. Sift dry ingredients into

separate bowl. Stir into creamed mixture alternately with water. Mix

thoroughly once everything has been added. Dough should be soft and will be

sticky. Refrigerate dough for at least one hour. Using sweet rice flour,

roll portions of dough on plastic wrap or parchment paper to about 1/4 " .

Cut and decorate as desired. Bake in 350F oven for 8-20 minutes depending

on size. Cookies should just be getting browned. Bake longer for crispier

cookies. Cool slightly on sheet before removing to rack to cool completely.

Store in airtight containers.
