Ingredients

• 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1/3 cup molasses
• 1/2 cup coconut sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
2. In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, molasses, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until well combined. The dough will be slightly sticky. If too sticky, add a little more flour.
4. Cover the dough and refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide it into two equal portions. Dust a clean surface and a rolling pin with gluten-free flour. Roll out one portion of the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
6. Use cookie cutters to cut out your desired shapes and carefully transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough.
7. Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden. Be careful not to overbake. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once the cookies are completely cooled, you can decorate them with icing or enjoy them as they are. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
