Ingredients
  

  • 144 grams (¾ cup) liquid oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 165 grams (¾ cup) sugar
  • 74 grams (¼ cup) molasses
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ⅛ tsp ground cloves
  • 2 tsps baking soda
  • 270 grams (2 cups) gluten-free 1:1 baking flour I always use Bob's Red Mill
  • Extra sugar or raw turbinado sugar for rolling
White Chocolate Drizzled Cookies Option:
  • 94 grams (½ cup) regular or vegan white chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
White Chocolate Dipped Cookies Option:
  • 188 grams (1 cup) regular or vegan white chocolate chips
  • 2 tsps coconut oil

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 C). Line baking trays with parchment paper. Combine the oil, egg, sugar, and molasses in the bowl of a stand mixer and mix on high for a couple minutes. Mix in the salt, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Add the baking soda and GF flour and mix until fully combined.
  2. Add about ⅓ cup/79 grams of sugar to a small bowl. Scoop up a ball of dough, roll it in your hands to shape into a perfect sphere, roll the ball in the sugar until completely coated, and place on the prepared baking tray. Repeat with all of the remaining dough, placing 9 dough balls evenly spread out on each tray. Bake for 9-11 minutes until slightly golden brown and crackly. Cool for at least 10 minutes before eating unless you plan on garnishing with white chocolate. If you're stopping at this point, enjoy! Happy Holidays!
White Chocolate Drizzle:
  1. Melt the white chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave. Dunk a small spoon in the melted mixture and move your hand back and forth over a cookie to create a drizzle effect. Repeat with the remaining cookies and let the white chocolate harden before serving. Happy Holidays!
White Chocolate Dunked Cookies:
  1. In a bowl (wide enough to place a cookie in), melt the white chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave. Grab a cookie, dip half of it in the white chocolate, shake off excess, and set the cookie back on the parchment lined tray. Repeat with the remaining cookies and let the white chocolate harden before serving. Enjoy! Happy Holidays!
