I started to make these gluten free cookies by dumping some Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Baking Flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, baking soda, ground nutmeg and salt into a medium sized mixing bowl.

I mixed the dry ingredients together with a spoon and set them aside.

Then I put some margarine and brown sugar into a large mixing bowl.

Using an electric hand mixer, on medium speed, I beat the margarine and brown sugar together until they were light and fluffy.

Then I added in some fancy molasses, pure maple syrup, granulated sugar and vanilla extract.

I used the electric hand mixer again to beat the ingredients until they were well mixed.

Then it was time to add in the dry ingredients that I had set aside earlier.  I used the electric hand mixer on low speed to blend the wet and dry ingredients together.

I cut some candied ginger into small bits and added them into the cookie dough.

To fold them in I used a large wooden spoon.

Once the dough was ready I used a one tablespoon scoop to transfer them to a parchment paper lined baking sheet.  I kept them a couple inches apart in case they would spread.

I placed the baking sheet in a preheated 350F oven for 8-10 minutes or until the cookies were just turning brown around the edges.

After removing the cookies from the oven I allowed them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to continue cooling.

Gluten Free Ginger Cookies are a light snack loaded with warmth and the sweetness of candied ginger.
