Yankee Ginger Snaps (gluten-free)
- 1 C fine rice flour (Arrowhead Mills)
- 2/3 C chickpea flour
- 1 C tapioca starch
- 2 t ground ginger
- 1 t ground cinnamon
- 1 t baking powder
- 1 t baking soda
- 1/2 t salt
- 1/2 C olive oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 C fine sugar (honey granules powdered in a NutriBullet)
- 1/4 C molasses
In a bowl, blend the flour, starch, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder and soda, and salt. In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to combine the oil, egg, and sugar. Beat in the molasses. Stir in the dry ingredients until the dough is fully blended.
Form the dough into 1-inch balls. Place the balls about 2 inches apart on a baking stone.
Bake the cookies for 12 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through. Allow them to cool for only 5 minutes. Use a metal spatula to transfer them to a cooling rack.
