Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (preferably one with xanthan gum included): The base of your cookies; xanthan gum helps bind the dough, replacing gluten’s elasticity.
- 1/2 cup almond flour: Adds moisture and a slightly nutty flavor, enhancing texture.
- 1 teaspoon baking soda: Works as a leavening agent to give the cookies a tender rise.
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger: The key spice for that classic gingery kick.
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon: Adds warmth and depth.
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves: For a hint of aromatic spice.
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg: Adds subtle sweetness and complexity.
- 1/4 teaspoon salt: Balances and enhances all the flavors.
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened: Provides richness and tenderness.
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed: Contributes moisture and caramel notes.
- 1 large egg: Binds the ingredients together and adds structure.
- 1/4 cup molasses: Essential for that deep gingerbread flavor and dark color.
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract: Enhances all flavor elements.
